Registered Care Manager
Are you an ambitious and passionate Care Manager looking for the opportunity to help shape and grow something truly special?
At Home Instead Thornbury, Yate & Dursley, we provide high-quality domiciliary and live-in care across South Gloucestershire and surrounding areas. We’re proud to be part of the wider Home Instead network - with over 260 offices nationwide, Home Instead is one of the UK’s largest and most highly recommended home care providers, with more CQC Outstanding-rated offices than any other provider in the sector.
Our office is also part of the Home Instead Virtus Care Group - a growing group of four Home Instead offices across the South. This gives you the best of both worlds: the support, stability and shared expertise of an established group, alongside the autonomy and opportunity to make a genuine impact locally and put your own stamp on the role.
Based at our office in Tortworth and covering South Gloucestershire and surrounding areas, this is an exciting opportunity to lead and grow a developing home care and live-in care service while working alongside a supportive senior leadership team that genuinely values innovation, relationships and high-quality care. We’re not looking for someone to simply maintain a service. We want someone who is energetic, positive and driven - someone who is excited by the idea of putting their own stamp on a growing organisation and helping create an outstanding culture from day one.
If you’re confident with technology and systems, great with people, passionate about client experience and ready to be part of an ambitious journey, we’d love to hear from you.

As a business, we are passionate about continuous improvement and always striving to make our service even better, so we’re looking for someone who shares that mindset and is motivated by delivering exceptional care and outcomes.
- You may already be an experienced Registered Care Manager, or perhaps an ambitious Deputy Manager who is ready to take the next step in their career. Either way, you’ll be passionate about delivering outstanding person-centred care and genuinely committed to making a difference in people’s lives.
- The ideal candidate will be positive, proactive and solutions-focused, with the confidence to lead from the front and inspire those around them. You’ll be comfortable using technology, digital systems and care management platforms to support quality, efficiency and growth, and you’ll have excellent interpersonal and communication skills that allow you to build strong relationships with clients, families, professionals and your team.
- You’ll thrive in a role where no two days are the same, remaining calm under pressure while embracing the challenge and excitement of helping to build and grow a developing service. You’ll be organised, commercially aware and able to balance high-quality care with sustainable growth, while creating a culture where people feel valued, supported and motivated.
- Most importantly, you’ll genuinely care about people - always putting clients, families and your team at the heart of everything you do.
