What should I expect a Registered Manager to do at a care home?

In the UK, a Registered Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of a care home. They are usually the most senior member of staff on site and have a key role in ensuring that the care home runs smoothly and meets all regulatory requirements.

The Registered Manager will often have a team of carers and other support staff working under them, and it is their job to ensure that everyone is working to the best of their abilities and providing high-quality care to residents. This includes ensuring that care plans are up to date and being followed, carrying out regular audits and reviews, and responding to any concerns or complaints.

Registered Managers also have a duty of care to their staff, and must provide support and supervision as needed. They should also be proactive in promoting a positive work environment and culture within the care home.
