Recruitment

Registered Manager Recruitment

Registration usually depends on having a registered manager, and the person you appoint has to meet CQC’s fit and proper person requirement. We run a targeted search against the brief you give us in our questionnaire, rather than an advert, and we only put forward people we would be prepared to take through the application ourselves.

What will we do?

  • The role is lawfully defined under UK employment and working time legislation

  • The position is credible and attractive to experienced Registered Managers

  • The candidate meets CQC Fit & Proper Person requirements

  • The appointment is realistic, sustainable, and inspection-ready

  • How the role is positioned in the market

  • Which candidates we approach

  • Salary benchmarking and seniority alignment

  • The likelihood of successful CQC approval and long-term retention

Free Consultation

Registered Manager recruitment starts at £1,250 + VAT, and we confirm the fee once we know what you are registering and where. QMADS has been advising health and social care providers on CQC compliance since 2012.

What happens if the appointment falls through?

Our engagement terms set out what is recoverable and who is responsible.

  • Enforceable Repayment Framework

    Legally binding repayment obligations ensure that any financial outlay is recoverable if the candidate fails to proceed.

  • Candidate Accountability

    The Registered Manager is contractually responsible for their commitment, conduct, and participation throughout the process.

  • Indemnity Protection

    Indemnity clauses cover financial loss arising from withdrawal, misrepresentation or breach.

  • Cost Recovery Assurance

    All associated costs, including re-advertising and replacement recruitment, are contractually recoverable.

  • Ring-Fenced Spend

    The engagement terms account for what you pay towards the search, so a failed appointment does not leave you out of pocket.

  • Continuity of Your Application

    Built-in safeguards ensure your CQC application process continues without disruption or reset risk.
