Career Profile - Care Manager


Career Profile


The position of care manager is a front-line leadership role within a residential care setting

As a care manager, you’ll be responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day operations within the care setting, including recruiting and managing staff, managing budgets and ensuring that the quality of the services provided meets national care standards.

Care homes are becoming more specialised services, especially for people living with dementia or those at the end of life, and you’ll be responsible for homes that provide all year, round-the-clock care.

The best care managers make services visible as a local resource and successfully integrate them within the community

Types of  Care Manager

You can work in a variety of settings, including:

* elderly care homes or nursing homes
* supported housing (combines housing with support services for vulnerable people – both adults and young adults)
* children’s homes
* hospice care (for those with life-limiting or terminal illness)

Responsibilities
As a Care Manager, you’ll be responsible for meeting national minimum standards of care issued by relevant bodies. These include:

* Care Quality Commission (CQC) – the independent regulator of health and social care in England
* Care Inspectorate Wales – the independent regulator of social care and childcare in Wales
* Care Inspectorate (Scotland) – the national regulator for care services in Scotland
* The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA) – the independent body responsible for monitoring and inspecting the health and social care services in Northern Ireland.

Roles can vary depending on the setting, but you’ll typically need to:

* ensure the delivery of quality, person-centred care
* manage budgets and the financial effectiveness of the setting
* recruit, train and supervise staff
* chair meetings and deliver training
* take on a visible leadership role
* maintain quality standards and ensure health and safety compliance
* liaise with and maintain partnerships with other local community organisations
* ensure any regulatory activity, such as personal care and administering medicines, is delivered within regulations
* provide information, advice and support to residents’ families
* organise activities for residents and actively promote their independence.

There are also opportunities to manage residential establishments for children. In this instance you’ll need to:

* safeguard and promote the welfare of the children
* ensure the quality of care provided is consistent with current legislation
* liaise with local authorities as well as health and other professionals working with the children
* manage child protection concerns and complaints
* contribute to care planning, statutory case reviews and case conferences
* support children’s emotional and behavioural needs
* lead homes through Ofsted inspections
* assess new referrals and carry out inductions.

Salary

* Salaries for care managers will depend on the role and service but can range from around £25,000 to £55,000.
* In some settings, senior managers can earn up to around £70,000.

Salaries vary greatly depending on whether you’re working for a local authority provision or an NHS trust where there are established pay bands, or for private and not-for-profit provisions.

Benefits may include a pension and life assurance. Some roles may include additional bonuses such as a company car or share options.

Working Hours

Residential care is a 24 hour, year-round service and you’ll usually work between 35 and 40 hours per week. This may include shifts, evening and weekend work, occasional sleep-ins and some on-call duties in the event of an emergency.

What to expect

* You’ll spend considerable office time completing paperwork but will also visit carers and residents in the care home setting. Some posts have a live-in requirement.
* Although the role can be challenging, there is now an increased focus on and commitment to providing support and training to those in leadership roles within adult social care.
* Jobs are available within local council, NHS trust and private or not-for-profit provisions throughout the UK.
* You may need to travel during the working day when you have responsibility for more than one residence or to attend meetings.

Skills

You’ll need to have:

* excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate with a range of people through a variety of methods
* excellent written skills for writing reports
* a passion for working with people and providing person-centred care
* leadership and management skills, with the ability to motivate others
* the capacity to work under pressure and to take a problem-solving approach to work
* effective organisational and time-management skills with the ability to prioritise your own and others workload
* numerical skills for managing budgets
* an understanding of accountability to ensure compliance with company policies and regulatory requirements.

You’ll also need the right values and behaviours to work in social care. These include:

* adaptability
* compassion
* courage
* empathy
* imagination
* integrity
* respect
* responsibility
* confidentiality
* treating people with dignity.

Career prospects

There are various options available for managers looking to progress their careers. Large healthcare companies or charities offer regional manager opportunities, which involve the management of multiple provisions within a regional area.

For a different perspective in social care management, you could move between frontline operational roles into strategic roles such as commissioning posts with local authorities and NHS trusts.

The independent regulator for health and social care in England, the CQC, recruits inspectors and inspection managers to inspect social care provisions. As an experienced care manager, you could use your knowledge to help ensure that provisions are meeting the required standards of quality and care.

If you’ve got a background in social work or nursing, you may be able to move back into management roles within those areas.

High-level experienced managers may become involved in consultancy work, advising care providers and contributing to research and policy writing on issues of social care management. You might also choose to set up a new care service.

Course Qualification - What qualification will I receive?

This is a dual-certification course and you will therefore receive two qualifications. This course is certified by Open Learning College via the Open Pathway Accreditation Programme & NCFE CACHE.

NCFE CACHE (Council for Awards in Care, Health and Education) are a leading awarding organisation specialising in in the care and education sector. CACHE endorse a range of qualifications to individuals and organisations throughout the UK and internationally.

At the end of this course successful learners will receive a Level 3 NCFE certificate of achievement. That means that it is independently accredited at a level of learning equivalent to Level 3 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Accreditation by NCFE is a guarantee of quality. It means that this learning programme has been scrutinised and approved by an independent panel of experienced educational professionals and is quality audited biannually by NCFE.

NCFE is recognised as an awarding body by the qualification regulators (‘regulators’) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Grading & How it Works

The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.

This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.

Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.

We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
