Registered Manager

BelleVie’s vision is to build a society where everyone in the care ecosystem is valued and supported.

We’re looking for an experienced Registered Manager to join our mission to reinvent the future of home care!

At BelleVie, our innovative operating model is forging a new path - putting people at the heart of everything we do and valuing both those who give and receive care. Inspired by the success of Buurtzorg, which transformed nursing and care in the Netherlands, we introduced a similar model of self-managing teams in the UK six years ago.

Our teams of care workers build deep, trusted relationships with each other and the people they support - focusing on what truly matters. Instead of hierarchy and traditional management, our model centres on strong leadership and coaching. And it works: families in Northumberland rate us 9.8/10, and we were proud to be named Best Domiciliary Care Provider at the 2024 National Care Awards.

If you’re passionate about making a real difference in people’s lives, building strong community relationships, and driving positive change—and if you lead with compassion, integrity, and a commitment to quality—we’d love to hear from you.
