Regional Manager

We are recruiting for a Regional Manager opportunity with a growing, independent and values‑led care group operating a small portfolio of residential and dementia homes across Devon. This is a hands‑on, operational leadership role within a family‑orientated organisation with a strong focus on quality, people and sustainable improvement.

As Regional Manager, you will oversee a small portfolio of mid‑sized residential and dementia homes, working closely with Home Managers to maintain high standards of care, develop leadership capability and drive consistent performance across the portfolio. This is not a corporate, desk‑based role. You will be visible, supportive and practical, leading through coaching rather than control, and helping managers navigate the real‑world pressures of care home operations.

You will also play a key role in supporting wider business projects, including refurbishments and new home developments.

• Provide operational and quality leadership across a portfolio of care homes
• Support, coach and develop Home Managers to strengthen performance and retention
• Drive quality, compliance and CQC readiness across all services
• Monitor and support KPIs including quality, occupancy, staffing and financial performance
• Lead and support improvement projects, refurbishments and service developments
• Act as a trusted, values‑led leader within a growing organisation

• Strong background in residential elderly care
• Current or recent Area / Regional Manager, or an experienced multi‑site leader
• Deep understanding of CQC, care home operations and frontline pressures
• Supportive, coaching leadership style
• Motivated by quality and people
• Full‑time role with flexibility
• Salary: DOE
• 20 days annual leave + bank holidays (increasing with service)
