• Proven leadership and people-management experience.
• A track record of maintaining and improving care quality.
• Experience managing occupancy, referrals, budgets and overall service performance.
• Confidence, sound judgement and the ability to make decisions.
• A genuine desire to improve and develop the service rather than simply maintain it.

Why Consider It?

The organisation is looking for someone who will bring ideas, challenge existing practices where appropriate and have a real impact on quality, team culture, resident experience and the overall performance of the home.
