• Provide ongoing commissioning support to Meadowhill Care Home, Borehamwood, our new flagship home which opened in April 2025
• Lead or assist with refurbishment projects to modernise and enhance our care homes across the group
• Support home managers in meeting regulatory and organisational standards, and step in as interim cover where required to meet the needs of the business
• Assist with the operational running of our established care homes to ensure smooth, high-quality care delivery across the group
• As a member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to collaborate closely with the wider support team to drive continuous improvement, compliance and performance
• Champion our core values of being compassionate, committed, collaborative and credible, ensuring every home upholds the highest standards of care, safety, and resident and staff well-being
  
  

About You

• Extensive leadership experience within the care sector, ideally with a track record of successfully managing multiple care homes
• Proven expertise in leading new care homes through commissioning and into full operation
• A proactive, hands-on approach with excellent leadership, communication and organisational skills
• Strong business acumen with a sense to drive priority tasks within each project
• A strong understanding of CQC requirements, staffing structures, budgeting and day-to-day operations
