As the membership body for registered managers in England, Skills for Care provides registered managers with support including exclusive resources, discounts, and a monthly newsletter.

In a recent survey of 300 members, we were delighted that 97% stated they would recommend membership to others.

The benefits which managers said they found to be most useful were:

• the social care manager’s handbook which all new members receive

• regularly updated resources on the membership portal.

Discussing their reasons for initially deciding to become a member, the most common motivations were:

• gaining access to advice and guidance
• supporting and valuing the work of Skills for Care
• being part of a membership body that increases the professional recognition of registered managers.

Registered managers play a key role in social care, and we’re very pleased to be able to provide the support and recognition which managers need and deserve in their roles, through our membership offer.

We were delighted to see that managers valued the work of Skills for Care, and our respondents also highlighted some additional Skills for Care resources which they found most useful. These included our website, the local networks, and endorsed leadership programmes.

Overall, members told us that their membership is something they’re proud of, and that it had made them feel less isolated and more confident and valued in their role, as well as having helped them to make improvements to their service.
