Job description

Overview

Care Home Operations Managers are the original hybrid workers. Regional Managers, Area Managers, Service Managers the same. Your next original work could be a masterpiece, because this job offers you the chance to bring together a multi million pound turnover group of LD, ASD/ASC specialist care homes making the whole greater than the sum of the parts. Not only that but you'll do so with greater influence, great earnings potential and great job security. We can offer these things thanks to the backing of the owners and their otherwise flat leadership structure. That means you'll be the maestro of the orchestra, whilst they focus more on the other acquisitions they have in pipeline. And you'll be further supported by a well managed back office team that takes great care of local authority customers, other aspects of finance and suppliers etc. It also means you get the brief, the freedom and backing to put your own stamp on the organisation. Do so well and you will share handsomely in the groups' success, giving you fantastic professional fulfillment and marvellous amounts of money, but not without hard work. If you're reading this, you'll have a good idea what it takes and chances are you've already somewhat mastered what it is to be a boss of a group of Care Homes. Now we want to know more.
