[Hiring] Registered Manager & Business Development Lead @A24 Group

Role Description

This is not a traditional Registered Manager post. It is a business development role first — with the Registered Manager responsibilities following as the caseload builds.

• Focus on business development: activating relationships with ICB commissioners, NHS discharge teams, local authority CHC leads, HSC Trusts (Northern Ireland), and complex care case managers.
• Convert relationships into commissioned complex care packages placed with Ambition24direct.
• As packages are won and the local caseload grows, evolve into CQC or RQIA Registered Manager responsibilities, contract management, and clinical governance oversight.
• Supported by our central compliance and clinical team.
• Central management of back-office, booking, and compliance functions, allowing focus on relationships and growth.
• Role starts at two days per week and grows directly in line with performance.

Responsibilities

• Develop and activate commissioner relationships in your region — ICB, local authority, NHS discharge, HSC Trust (NI).
• Identify and pursue complex care package opportunities for adults and children (CYP).
• Represent Ambition24direct at commissioner meetings, MDTs, and local NHS and social care forums.
• Support package mobilisation working with our central clinical and operations team.
• Evolve into CQC or RQIA Registered Manager for your regional location as caseload grows.
• Manage active packages, commissioner relationships, and contract performance over time.

Requirements

• Current NMC registration (RGN), OR Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care — held, not in progress. One of these two is essential. There are no exceptions.
• Proven knowledge of the health and social care commissioning landscape in your region.
• Existing relationships with ICB commissioners, CHC leads, discharge planners, or case managers that you can activate immediately.
• Experience in a senior clinical, commissioning, or care management role.
• Comfortable operating independently and building a market without day-to-day management.
• Previous CQC or RQIA Registered Manager experience is an advantage but not required.

Benefits

• Competitive part-time salary — negotiable based on experience and local network.
• Full autonomy to build your regional market, backed by a nationally established provider.
• Complete back-office, compliance, and clinical support from our central team.
• A role that grows with what you deliver — more packages, more days, more responsibility.
• Full support through the CQC or RQIA registration and fit person interview process.
