Registered Care Manager in Exeter

We’re opening Martin House, a brand-new care home near our main InFocus campus, and we’re looking for an exceptional Registered Care Manager to lead the service from day one. This is a rare opportunity to shape a new home, build a strong team and create a culture grounded in best practice and shared values.

You’ll have overall responsibility for the leadership and day-to-day management of the home, embedding InFocus values and ensuring high-quality, person-centred care is consistently delivered. You’ll be hands-on when needed, including providing personal care to ensure continuity of support. You’ll recruit, develop and motivate a skilled staff team, creating a positive, inclusive culture where people feel valued and empowered.

Working closely with families, professionals, commissioners and multidisciplinary teams, you’ll build strong partnerships that deliver positive outcomes. As part of the wider InFocus leadership team, you’ll contribute to service development, quality improvement and organisational learning. This role offers the chance to make a real impact, shaping a new service and helping people live the lives they choose.

You’re an experienced and compassionate care leader with a strong commitment to person-centred support. You believe in dignity, choice and independence and put people at the heart of every decision. You bring strong leadership skills, can inspire and develop others, and are confident working in a regulated environment. You have experience supporting adults with learning disabilities, sensory impairments and complex needs, and understand safeguarding, quality and continuous improvement. You may already be a Registered Manager or ready to take the next step. Most importantly, you share our belief in the potential of the people we support and are excited to create something special from the ground up.

Predominantly office hours, with some flexibility required to support the service.
