Day in the life of a registered manager
The challenging role of a registered manager differs everyday as it is the manager's responsibility to address problems and emergency situations whenever they happen. It is vital, therefore, that managers such as Nilannie are able to work flexibly and manage their time effectively.
Nilannie's role involves a mixture of administrative tasks, such as completing reports of accidents and emergencies, supervision duties and direct care work. Registered managers are required to spend a good proportion of time completing reports for senior management and inspections from outside organisations. Nilannie is also responsible for regularly meeting with individual staff members to support them with their professional development and wellbeing.
Nilannie spends a lot of her time visiting different parts of the home to catch up with residents and the staff team. In addition, Nilannie continues to put herself on nursing rota and occasionally completes night shifts when required at the weekends.
