Care Leadership Recruitment

Care Leadership Recruitment, delivered by Kata Care

Solutions for Care has partnered with Kata Care to offer specialist recruitment support, with a particular focus on finding the right leaders for your care service.
The right manager changes everything.

A great Registered Manager doesn’t just satisfy the regulator, they set the tone for your whole service. They retain your staff, reassure your families, and create the kind of environment where good care actually happens. When that person is missing, or when the wrong person is in the role, everything gets harder.

Kata Care specialises in leadership recruitment for the care sector, and because we work in care quality every day, we understand what good leadership actually looks like in practice. We’re not just matching CVs to job descriptions. We’re helping you find someone who will genuinely thrive in your service and stay.

If you’re recruiting off the back of a difficult period, we can do more than find you a manager. We can provide interim leadership to stabilise your service while the permanent search is underway, so you’re never left without the right person at the helm.

And every permanent placement comes with something we think is genuinely valuable: a free mini mock inspection or quality day in your new manager’s first 90 days. We’ll work with them to help them hit the ground running — understanding the service, identifying early priorities, and building the confidence to lead well from day one. It supports them. It supports your team. And it significantly improves the chance they’ll still be with you in two years’ time.

What we offer:

  • Permanent Leadership Recruitment for Registered Managers, Deputy Managers, Heads of Department, and senior care roles
  • Interim Management from experienced leaders placed quickly when you need stability
  • Full Journey Support from interim cover through to permanent appointment, with a 90-day quality plan for your new hire built in
  • Free Mini Mock / Quality Day with Every Permanent Placement because a great hire deserves a great start
