Day-to-day operating brief

What Care Manager work looks like in practice

A Care Manager oversees a team or service delivering personal support, balancing assessed outcomes, staffing, safe practice and organisational resources. The contract should state authority over rotas, supervision, recruitment input, complaints, incident review, budgets and service improvement.
