The Role

Compass Associates are pleased to be partnering with a fantastic client operating across England. With a solid senior management structure and a well-established portfolio of care homes, the group are in the process of commissioning a new-build from the ground up.

You’ll work with external stakeholders and support the development of the home, through the gradual admission of residents to the person-centred care delivered there.

Summary

My client is seeking a nurse qualified manager to take on the commissioning of a new service based in Leyland. You’ll have a strong business acumen, understanding of CQC regulations and be able to strategize the growth of the care home.
