Job description

Registered Home Manager – Nursing & Dementia Care

Are you an experienced, nurse-qualified Home Manager looking for the opportunity to take genuine ownership of a growing care home and shape its next chapter?

This could be the role for you.

We are working with a highly regarded care provider to recruit an experienced Registered Home Manager for a modern nursing, residential and dementia care service in the Stoke-on-Trent area.

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded and people-focused leader who enjoys building strong teams, developing occupancy and establishing a home as a trusted part of its local community.

Why this role?

This isn't simply about maintaining an established service.

The home is already operating with a positive foundation, but there is significant opportunity to grow occupancy, develop the leadership team and strengthen the home's profile within the local community.

You will have the autonomy to make a real difference, supported by an established organisation and the resources that come with it.

Your priorities will include:

Driving continued occupancy growth and commercial performance.
Developing and strengthening the HOD and leadership team.
Building excellent relationships with residents, families and key external stakeholders.
Developing the home's reputation and becoming a provider of choice within the local community.
Maintaining high standards of care, compliance and clinical governance.
Creating a positive, accountable and high-performing culture.
Identifying opportunities for continuous improvement and ensuring the home remains regulatory-ready.

About you

We are looking for an established Home Manager who is ready to take on a role with genuine scope to influence and develop a service.

You will ideally have:

Proven experience as a Registered Home Manager within elderly care.
An active NMC PIN and a nursing qualification.
Experience managing a nursing, residential and/or dementia care service.
A strong understanding of CQC, clinical governance, safeguarding and quality assurance.
A demonstrable track record of improving occupancy and developing a home's local reputation.
Strong commercial awareness, including budgets, staffing, occupancy and financial performance.
Experience developing managers and building high-performing teams.
The confidence to build relationships with families, commissioners, healthcare professionals and community stakeholders.
A visible, empowering and inclusive leadership style.
The ability to balance exceptional care with strong commercial performance.

Commissioning or experience of developing a newer service would be advantageous, but the key requirement is a proven ability to grow and develop a home while maintaining high standards of care.

The opportunity

This is a genuine opportunity for an ambitious Home Manager to put their own stamp on a growing service.

You will have the support and resources of an established provider, while retaining the autonomy to lead your home effectively and make decisions that have a real impact.

If you are a nurse-qualified Home Manager who enjoys developing people, growing occupancy, building strong stakeholder relationships and creating a home that residents and families are proud to choose, we'd love to hear from you.
