• Building effective relationships with residents, families, commissioners, healthcare professionals and external agencies
• Participating in the management on-call rota

About you

You will be an experienced adult social-care leader with the confidence and capability to establish and lead a large, complex service.

You will need:

• A Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care, an equivalent qualification, or to be working towards completion within an agreed timescale
• The ability to obtain and maintain registration with the Care Quality Commission
• Substantial management experience within adult social care
• Experience of managing or deputising within a nursing home for older people
• Strong knowledge of CQC requirements, safeguarding, the Mental Capacity Act and person-centred care
• Experience of recruiting, leading and developing a large multidisciplinary staff team
• The ability to manage quality, staffing, budgets, occupancy and operational performance
• Strong leadership, communication and decision-making skills
• A visible, compassionate and resilient leadership style

Experience of opening or mobilising a new care home, managing a large nursing home or supporting people with complex dementia, older persons’ mental health needs or learning disabilities would be particularly advantageous.

This is a rare opportunity to build a new service and its culture from the beginning, creating a home in which residents receive exceptional care and staff feel supported, valued and proud of the work they do.
