As our founding leader, you’ll recruit your own team, embed the culture, and set the standards that will define this home for years to come. With the full backing of an established and highly supportive care provider, you’ll have the autonomy to lead your vision and the expertise behind you to ensure the home thrives from opening through to full occupancy and beyond.

About Care Concern Group

Care Concern Group is a successful, family-owned care provider with over 130 services across the UK, known for delivering high standards of care with heart, integrity, and ambition.

In Scotland

• 68 homes, plus more developments underway
• Inspection grades consistently 10% above national average
• Exceptionally low reliance on agency staff
• A proven commissioning track record with multiple successful launches

You’ll also have support from an experienced commissioning team who know exactly what it takes to open a thriving home.

The Region You’ll Be Joining

Led by a well-respected Regional Director, the region is stable, high-performing, and built on collaboration. Staff retention, at all levels, is among the best in Scotland, because people feel supported, valued, and trusted.

You won’t be alone in your journey. You’ll be surrounded by people who want you to succeed.

What you’ll lead

As Commissioning Home Manager, you’ll lead the full registration and commissioning process while building a high-performing, values-driven team from scratch. You’ll drive occupancy growth, embed strong governance and operational systems, and establish the home as a trusted care provider within the local community.

Above all, you’ll create a culture where residents feel safe, supported, and truly at home from the moment we open our doors.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an inspiring Home Manager who leads with both expertise and heart. Someone who understands that outstanding care comes from a combination of clinical excellence, commercial strength, and a culture built on trust, respect, and kindness.

You’ll have proven experience leading a nursing care service, with a confident grasp of regulatory standards, dementia care and governance, and the commercial insight to ensure long-term success through strong occupancy and financial performance.

A natural motivator, you will build and nurture a high-performing team who feel valued, supported, and proud of the care they deliver every day. Nurse qualified is desirable, though not essential for an exceptional leader with credible clinical oversight.

If you are driven by passion, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to creating a home where residents feel safe, fulfilled and truly celebrated, you will thrive here.

Trust | Respect | Passion | Kindness | Inclusivity
