Responsibilities

We are seeking a strong, values‑led Home Manager who thrives on accountability and sees regulatory challenge as professional opportunity. You will take full operational and commercial responsibility for the service, leading from the front; visible on the floor, coaching your team, setting standards, and restoring confidence following the sudden departure of the previous manager. The team is committed and capable and needs direction, consistency, and belief.

Your mission is clear: secure a ‘Good’ CQC rating, embed robust governance and compliance, stabilise and strengthen the team culture, and continue building sustainable occupancy. You will work closely with the Regional Director, CRM and Quality Team to ensure standards are not only met but embedded. Budgets, KPIs and staffing will sit firmly within your control, and you will be trusted to run the home as your business.

We are looking for an experienced Home Manager with a background in complex dementia or nursing care who understands both the emotional intelligence and commercial acumen required in modern care leadership. You will have a proven record of improving standards, developing teams, and managing regulatory relationships with confidence. An RMN is preferred, though strong RGNs or exceptional non‑nurse candidates with the right experience will be considered. A Level 5 in Leadership and Management is essential.

Most importantly, you will be resilient, hands‑on and values‑driven. Someone who builds trust quickly, communicates clearly, and inspires people through action rather than words.

Qualifications

Experience in complex dementia or nursing care management.

Proven record of improving standards, developing teams, and managing regulatory relationships.

Level 5 in Leadership and Management (or equivalent).

Registered Mental Nurse preferred; strong Registered General Nurse or strong non‑nurse with suitable experience considered.
