Day in the life of a Registered Manager

A Typical Registered Manger's Day

08.00 Telephone call with the on-call manager to check on the weekend
08.30 Handover with the team look at plans for the day
09.30 Telephone call with the other managers and operations manager to discuss homes and plans for the week
10.30 Supervision with the Deputy Manager
12.00 Complete the whole things-to-do list that has been following me around for weeks
16.00 Spend an hour with the kids before home

Got into work a bit late due to traffic, rushed through calls and handover.

Attended a Child Looked After review meeting that no one had told me about, so had to cancel supervision (add to my to-do list).

Lots of recommendations made in the review regarding this young person (add to my to-do list).

Then got called into one of the young people’s school as there had been a problem.

Spent an hour or so with the young person explaining why school is so important.

Following this, the risk assessment for education needs updating (add to my to-do list).

Had a long telephone conversation with the Operations Manager (add lots to my to-do list).

Spent an hour with the young people before home.

I love this job and spending time with the children. I am sure I will complete my to do list tomorrow.
