Hamptons was approached by a leading national provider of adult social care services, specialising in palliative care, dementia care, and assisted living for adults with Learning Disabilities. With a strong commitment to quality, they operate over 20 residential care homes across the UK — of which the majority have received a “Good” or “Outstanding” rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC). These high standards extend to their recruitment needs, where only the most capable and values-aligned professionals are considered.
The Brief
In March 2025, the client approached Hamptons with a requirement to appoint a Residential Care Home Manager. The successful candidate would be responsible for leading one of their outstanding-rated homes, upholding clinical excellence, regulatory compliance, and compassionate care delivery in line with the company’s standards.
Recruitment Challenge
Due to the provider’s national reputation and CQC ratings, only candidates with demonstrable leadership in adult care services, an understanding of complex care needs, and experience working within highly regulated environments would be suitable. Cultural fit, emotional intelligence, and person-centred care values were non-negotiable in the search for the Residential Care Home Manager.
