Colten Care are recruiting for a Home Manager to manage staff and resources so that each resident can enjoy a dignified and fulfilling life. You’ll be working closely with your Clinical Lead and the wider healthcare and hospitality teams to ensure the quality of individual service and care consistently meets our own high standards and those of our external regulators.

Reporting to the regional Operations Manager, you will create and lead a vision for the home to ensure a philosophy of continuous improvement, encouraging and supporting the home’s journey to ‘outstanding’.

Essential requirement

Business insurance is essential due to travel during work hours.
