Job Description
Regional Director | Elderly Residential Services | South of England | £75K + Car Allowance
We’re recruiting for a senior operational leadership role across a portfolio of elderly residential services in the South of England. The group operates 10+ services and continues to grow, with a strong focus on stabilising leadership, improving compliance, and embedding a values-led culture.
This is a key appointment overseeing a defined region of 6–8 services across Surrey, Hampshire, Greater London, Essex, and Berkshire. The services are at varying stages; some are settled, while others require hands-on improvement support. This is due to recent RI ratings, management turnover, and agency reliance in parts of the region. Central infrastructure is in place, and support is available; however, what is needed now is a Regional Director who can lead from the front and consistently maintain high standards for quality and performance.
As the Regional Director, you will:
* Hold operational responsibility for 6–8 elderly residential care services across the South
* Lead, coach, and support Home Managers to drive compliance, culture, and accountability
* Work closely with services rated Requires Improvement to implement and monitor action plans
* Take the lead on CQC readiness, safeguarding reviews, internal audits, and post-inspection actions
* Collaborate with central teams across Quality, Finance, HR, and Compliance to address risks early
* Play a key role in supportingthe recruitment and retention of senior leaders across services
* Act as the link between home-level management and the executive leadership team
* Provide visible support through regular site visits, with flexibility to travel and stay overnight where required
* Respond to urgent operational issues outside core hours when necessary
This role would be ideal if you:
* Have held a Regional Manager, Area Manager, or similar multi-site leadership role in adult social care
* Have led turnaround or improvement programmes following RI ratings or safeguarding actions
* Are confident holding Home Managers to account while also offering coaching and guidance
* Understand CQC regulation and service-level KPIs, including occupancy, budget control, and agency spend
* Hold a Level 5 qualification in Health & Social Care or Leadership (or equivalent)
* Are confident working across residential elderly care (clinical background not essential)
* Are based within easy reach of the South East and have a full UK driving licence and your vehicle
In return, you will receive:
* Salary of up to £75,000 per annum
* £3,000 annual car allowance + mileage reimbursement
* 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
* Company pension and life insurance
* Paid DBS
* Health and well-being support via an employee assistance programme
* Access to funded CPD and e-learning
* Stable exec team and supportive infrastructure across Quality, Finance, and Governance
This is a key leadership position offering autonomy, challenge, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference across a growing network of elderly care services.
