The registered manager role
A registered manager is legally responsible for a regulated service. CQC registers you personally, and the rating the service carries is attached to how you run it, not only to the provider above you.
The job is staffing, occupancy, budget, safeguarding, complaints, audits and the quality of care people actually receive, usually in that order on the day and in the reverse order when it matters.
