Registered Care Home Manager – Complex Care & Mental Health

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Registered Care Home Manager to lead a brand-new, purpose-built complex care and mental health service in Huddersfield.

This is your chance to shape a new service from the ground up—building a strong team culture, delivering exceptional person-centred care, and helping to establish the home as a trusted, high-quality provider within the local community.

As a new service, the focus will be on increasing occupancy, ensuring compliance with CQC standards, and creating a home that achieves a “Good” or “Outstanding” rating. You’ll be supported by a forward-thinking provider that embraces innovation, digital care systems, and professional development.

About the Home

This newly opened, state-of-the-art home features 40 bedrooms, and the environment is homely, modern, and designed to meet the complex needs of individuals living with acute mental health conditions, neurological disorders, and complex physical care requirements.

The Role

As the Registered Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind the home’s success — providing strong clinical and operational leadership, fostering a culture of quality and compassion, and ensuring the highest standards of care delivery.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading, developing, and motivating a multidisciplinary team.
• Overseeing all aspects of clinical and operational management.
• Driving occupancy growth and building strong relationships with commissioners and external professionals.
• Ensuring regulatory compliance and preparing for CQC inspection.
• Managing budgets, staffing, and financial performance.
• Promoting a positive, inclusive, and person-centred culture throughout the service.

About You

You’ll be an experienced Registered Manager (Nurse Qualified), with a passion for leading services that deliver outstanding outcomes for individuals with complex care and mental health needs.

Essential Requirements

• Registered Nurse qualification (RGN, RMN or RNLD) with active NMC PIN.
• Proven experience as a Registered Manager (minimum three years’ leadership in complex care or mental health settings).
• Strong understanding of CQC regulations, governance, and best clinical practice.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Commercial awareness and experience managing budgets and occupancy.
• Ability to motivate teams, manage change, and deliver results.

Desirable

• Experience commissioning or opening new services.
• Formal leadership or management qualification.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary: £65,000 – £70,000
• Performance-related bonus scheme
• Private healthcare cover
• Pension plan and life assurance
• Paid NMC registration and access to RCNi learning resources
• Retail and lifestyle discounts
• 24/7 wellbeing and counselling support
• Ongoing leadership and management development opportunities

If you’re a dynamic and compassionate leader with the vision and expertise to establish a high-performing complex care service, we’d love to hear from you.
