At Starling Homecare, we are building something special.
We are a family run, independently owned homecare provider based in St Albans, on a continued mission to build the leading heart-first homecare service the one families in Hertfordshire ask for by name when someone they love needs support at home.
We were founded by a husband and wife team who previously founded and led an award-winning homecare service in Hertfordshire for over a decade. We know what great care looks like and how to build a team that delivers it. We started Starling Homecare to bring good old-fashioned values back into homecare knowing your clients, turning up when you said you would, doing the small things properly, and treating people the way you would want your own family treated. We hold high standards because people deserve the best.
We are CQC registered and provide visiting care across St Albans, Harpenden, Hemel Hempstead and Welwyn Hatfield, and live-in care across Hertfordshire.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced care professional to become our Registered Care Manager and lead our team through the next chapter of our growth. This is a role for someone who wants to build something, not just run it.
As Registered Care Manager, you will:
What We Ask Of You
We should be honest about what this role asks. We are an early-stage organisation, and at this stage everyone steps in when the service needs it. The people we support do not need us only between nine and five, and the Registered Care Manager sets the example. This role needs someone who is flexible, who understands the commitment involved in making sure our clients are properly supported, and who is prepared to roll their sleeves up while we grow. It is not for everyone, and we would rather say so now.
We ask it because the reason we are here is bigger than the business. We want to make a real and lasting difference to health and social care in our local area, so that people get the care they deserve, at home, from people who genuinely care about them.
Who We re Looking For
We welcome applications from experienced Registered Managers, and from confident Deputy Managers, Senior Supervisors or Senior Coordinators who are ready to step up. Applicants will need to complete the CQC Registered Manager application process.
