What Does it Look Like?

LDC Care Co are flying from strength-to-strength – and it’s not slowing down! We now have over 70 locations in Kent, with nearly 600 staff delivering over 26,000 hours of care every week. As we continue to expand, we are looking for new additions to our current team of Registered Managers.

We understand how important it is to make the right move when you’re looking for new career opportunities, and we want to help you to understand what the role looks like within LDC Care Co:

· You will be assigned to an operational ‘patch’, overseen by your designated Operations Manager, and will receive support and benefit from the experience of other Registered Managers within your direct team. You will share CQC registration to focus on achieving outstanding care quality standards as a team.

· You will oversee a small cluster of Supported Living services, allocated in accordance with your strengths and experiences to date, giving you the chance to focus on providing amazing specialist levels of care and support.

· Across these locations you will manage the care and support for an average of 6 – 12 supported individuals, each with complex needs and requiring an average of approx. 1,000 hours of care per week. This may be delivered on the basis of 1:1, 2:1 or even 4:1 staffing! You will develop support approaches that work to break down barriers and integrate them into their local communities, increase their independence, and find ways to keep them safe – regardless of diagnosis or the challenges they face.

· You will have highly qualified staff teams within each of your services, line managing around 30 team members. You will provide an open and engaging environment to encourage the best possible support.

· You will also be assigned a Deputy Manager to help with managerial tasks such as staff support, roster planning, and care plan updates.

· You will have access to a spectrum of specialist resources within the organisation, including an in-house PBS Practitioner, Quality & Compliance Manager, a full HR and Recruitment Department, and the LDC Academy for all staff training and development needs.
