<div>Care Manager (Healthcare or Clinical Background Preferred)</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>About St Jude’s Care</div>
<div>St Jude’s Care is a family‑run care provider delivering high‑quality, person‑centred care across the South West of England. We provide live‑in care, domiciliary care, and supported living, supporting people to live safely, independently and with dignity in their own homes.</div>
<div>We pride ourselves on combining professional standards with a genuine personal touch. Every branch of St Jude’s Care is rated Good by the CQC, reflecting our commitment to safe, compassionate and reliable care.</div>
<div>As an organisation, we value strong care management and professional judgement. Our Care Managers play a central role in ensuring care is well‑planned, responsive and outcomes‑focused, working closely with clients, families, care teams and external professionals. We welcome Care Managers who bring a healthcare or clinical background, and who are keen to apply their experience within a community‑based, person‑centred care setting.</div>
<div>The Role</div>
<div>As a Care Manager, you’ll play a central role in overseeing the safe, effective and person‑centred delivery of care across our services, ensuring people receive the right support, at the right time, in their own homes.</div>

<div>· &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The ability to build positive relationships with clients, families, care staff and external professionals</div>
<div>· &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Strong communication, organisation and decision‑making skills</div>
