Lead. Inspire. Grow. Make your mark.

Award-winning Top 20 Homecare Provider, GoodOaks Homecare, is looking for an ambitious, compassionate and hands-on Registered Manager to lead our growing Bicester branch, supporting clients across Bicester and Oxford.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a relatively new branch with huge potential. Working closely with our supportive and approachable franchise owners, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the business, growing our client base, developing an outstanding team and delivering exceptional care.

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys variety. This isn't a desk-based management role – you'll be equally comfortable leading your team, meeting prospective clients, networking in the community, ensuring compliance, and rolling your sleeves up to support the service when needed.

If you're passionate about quality care, love developing people and want to build something you're truly proud of, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• Leading the day-to-day running of our CQC-regulated home care service, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.

• Working closely with the Franchise Owners to help grow and develop the business.

• Conducting client consultations, care assessments, care planning and onboarding new clients.

• Building lasting relationships with clients, families, healthcare professionals and local stakeholders.

• Networking within the local community and promoting GoodOaks to generate new business opportunities.

• Supporting business development activities and helping to grow our reputation across Oxford and Bicester.

• Recruiting, coaching, mentoring and inspiring your care team through an open, supportive and approachable leadership style.

• Creating a positive culture where colleagues feel valued, motivated and empowered to deliver exceptional care.

• Managing quality assurance, audits, complaints and continuous service improvement.

• Ensuring the branch remains fully compliant with CQC and all relevant legislation.

• Being flexible and leading from the front. On occasion, you'll be willing to step in and cover care visits or support operational challenges to ensure our clients always receive outstanding care.

Who we're looking for

You'll be an experienced care leader who thrives in a growing business and enjoys making a genuine difference.

You'll have:

• Previous experience managing within domiciliary care or a similar health and social care setting.

• A strong understanding of CQC regulations and compliance requirements.

• Excellent people leadership skills with a supportive, coaching and collaborative management style.

• A genuine passion for delivering outstanding person-centred care.

• The confidence to make decisions, solve problems and adapt to changing priorities.

• A proactive, hands-on approach with a willingness to go above and beyond when the service needs you.

• Experience building relationships with professionals and developing opportunities within the local community.

• Excellent communication and organisational skills.

• A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle.

• Willingness to undertake an enhanced DBS check.

Working hours

This role is typically 7:00am–4:00pm or 8:00am–5:00pm, although we're open to discussing working patterns with the right candidate. As a manager in a growing service, you'll understand that flexibility is occasionally required to support the team and ensure exceptional care for our clients.

What you'll receive

• Salary of £38,000–£44,000 with regular salary reviews.

• Annual performance-related bonus with clear and achievable targets.

• A rare opportunity to shape and grow a successful branch alongside supportive, engaged owners who genuinely value your ideas.

• Excellent career development as the business continues to expand.

• Comprehensive induction, ongoing training and support from our experienced Franchise Support Office.

• Reimbursement of your CQC DBS.

• Access to our Virtual GP service.

• Employee benefits and volunteer days.

• The opportunity to work for the UK's only carbon-neutral home care franchise.

• A supportive, collaborative and values-led culture where you'll be trusted, listened to and encouraged to succeed.

If you're looking for more than just another Registered Manager role and want the opportunity to build a thriving service, develop an exceptional team and make a real impact in your local community, we'd love to hear from you.
