# Registered Manager - Domiciliary Care (Consultant)

> Nila · United Kingdom (Remote) · Temporary · Posted 2026-08-13

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

### About us

Nila Cares is building software for domiciliary care providers — tools to help home care services run better, from day-to-day operations through to compliance and commissioning. We're a small, ambitious team, and we want the product shaped by people who have actually run a service, not just by people who write code.

### The role

We're looking for a current or recent CQC Registered Manager with domiciliary care experience to work alongside us as a paid product advisor for a few hours a week. This is not a registered manager post and carries no CQC registration or accountability — it's a consultancy role advising the team building the product.

You'd be the voice of the registered manager in the room. In practice that means:

-   Regular video sessions (typically 2–4 hours/week, flexible around your schedule) reviewing product plans, designs and early builds
-   Telling us plainly when something wouldn't survive contact with a real service — a rota, a care plan workflow, a medication record, an audit trail
-   Walking us through how things actually work day to day: rostering and ECM, care planning and reviews, CQC evidence and notifications, safeguarding, LA/ICB commissioning and reporting
-   Sanity-checking our priorities: what would genuinely save a manager time, and what only sounds useful
-   Occasional ad hoc questions over email/WhatsApp between sessions

## Requirements

**Essential**

-   Held a CQC Registered Manager post in domiciliary care / home care in England (current, or within roughly the last 6 months)
-   Managed a service through at least one CQC inspection — ideally rated Good or Outstanding under your management
-   Hands-on experience of local authority and/or ICB-commissioned care (frameworks, spot and block contracts, ECM/call monitoring)
-   Experience using Care Management Software (e.g Birdie, CarePlanner, OneTouch etc)
-   Opinionated, direct, and comfortable telling a product team they've got it wrong

**Nice to have**

-   Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health & Social Care (or equivalent)
-   Experience of growing a service, mobilising new contracts, or working across multiple locations
-   Experience choosing or implementing care management software (as a buyer/user — you don't need to be technical)
-   Involvement in a Skills for Care registered manager network or local care association  
    

### Practical details

-   Commitment: 2–4 hours/week to start, flexible — sessions arranged around your existing role
-   Term: initial 3 months, extended by mutual agreement
-   Engagement: self-employed consultancy agreement (you invoice us); NDA required
-   Location: fully remote via video call, with occasional in-person meetups (expenses covered)
-   Pay: competitive hourly rate, agreed based on experience
-   Conflicts: you can keep your current role — we'll simply ask you to confirm there's no conflict of interest before we start

## Benefits

-   A meaningful role in a mission-led startup
-   Competitive salary with equity options
-   A small team that moves fast, supports each other, and celebrates wins
-   Opportunity to shape the technology and culture of a mission-driven startup.
-   Flexible working environment.
-   Collaborative, supportive team culture
-   Chance to make a tangible social impact on families caring for a loved one.
