Registered Manager
West Sussex
£42,000 + Uncapped Bonus + Outstanding Benefits
Delphi Care Solutions is recruiting on behalf of a confidential, well-established provider seeking an experienced Registered Manager to lead a thriving retirement living community in West Sussex.
Let's be honest. Most Registered Manager adverts talk about compliance, audits and paperwork.
The best Managers know the role is about far more than that.
It's about leading a team that people want to be part of. Creating a culture where residents feel safe, valued and supported. Driving standards whilst maintaining the commercial performance of the service. Having the autonomy to make decisions and the backing of a provider that genuinely supports its leaders.
If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact without constantly firefighting, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to join an established service with solid foundations, strong occupancy and an experienced team already in place.
As Registered Manager, you'll have full operational responsibility for the service, ensuring exceptional standards of care, regulatory compliance and resident wellbeing whilst continuing to develop the team and drive performance.
You'll be trusted to lead the service as your own, with the support of an experienced senior leadership team behind you.

- Leadership, coaching and development of care and support teams
- Maintaining excellent compliance and quality standards

- Strong knowledge of CQC regulations and best practice
- Proven experience leading, motivating and developing teams
- Excellent communication, organisational and relationship-building skills
- A passion for delivering person-centred care and achieving outstanding outcomes
Whether you're an established Registered Manager seeking a fresh challenge or an experienced Deputy Manager ready to take the next step, we'd love to hear from you.
