supporting registered managers - web image At the heart of every outstanding service is a manager who’s working hard to ensure that they can create a person-centred culture that delivers great, high-quality care.

We're the membership organisation for registered managers in England and support managers to do just that.

Through our day-to-day work with managers, research and consultation activities, we understand and respond to the opportunities and challenges facing registered managers.

Whether you’re just starting out in your career, or are an experienced registered manager, we support you to develop your skills, knowledge and confidence to lead a well-led service.

For only £35 per year, become part of a community of registered managers dedicated to improving the quality of adult social care. Benefits include exclusive resources, monthly newsletters and discounts.

Local networks

Your role is rewarding, but it also carries great responsibility and can be hard work! Our registered manager networks provide practical peer support and are a great way to meet other managers in your area.

Develop yourself

Your role is varied and ever-changing, so it’s important that you have opportunities to develop as a manager. We have a range of tools and programmes to help.

Our work with aspiring and new managers

Supporting staff to move from one role to a higher level is important and succession planning should be a key element of any workforce plan. In addition, we know that all managers benefit from having the support of a confident deputy manager.

Take a look at our aspiring manager and new registered manager pilot programme to see how we can help.

You can also take a look at our overview leaflet: 'Supporting your registered managers' here.

Our research with registered managers

We’ve published two briefings that share key messages from research with over 860 registered managers. The briefings map the research findings to examples of the great work done by managers and their employers, as well as our support for registered managers.

Download the first briefing: ‘Who are registered managers?’ here.
