Lead the Next Chapter at Adel Square Care Home

At Adel Square Care Home, we believe exceptional care starts with creating a place where people genuinely feel at home.

Operated by St Mary's Care Group, Adel Square is a stunning purpose-built care home in the heart of North Leeds, providing residential, dementia and respite care within a warm, welcoming and supportive environment. Since opening its doors in March 2026, the home has established strong foundations, welcomed its first residents and built a dedicated team committed to delivering outstanding person-centred care.

Now we're looking for an exceptional Home Manager to lead the next chapter of Adel Square's journey.

This is a unique opportunity to take the reins of a beautiful new home that has already completed its successful launch phase. We're looking for someone who can build upon that success, continue growing occupancy, develop colleagues, strengthen local community relationships and create a culture where residents, families and team members truly thrive.

As Home Manager, you'll have the freedom to make a real impact, supported by an experienced senior leadership team that shares your commitment to quality, compassion and excellence.

Why Join Adel Square?

At Adel Square, we don't just provide care. We create homes filled with friendship, laughter, companionship and meaningful experiences.

You’ll be leading a purpose-built 86-bed service designed to offer exceptional living environments, supported by a talented team who are passionate about making every day matter for the people we support.

This role offers the rare opportunity to join a home at an exciting stage in its development. The hard work of opening has been done; now it's about building reputation, nurturing a positive culture and establishing Adel Square as one of the leading care homes in Leeds.

About The Role

As Home Manager, you’ll be responsible for the overall leadership, performance and success of the home.

You’ll inspire your team to deliver exceptional care, ensure residents enjoy fulfilling and meaningful lives, maintain strong regulatory standards and drive sustainable commercial performance.

You’ll be equally comfortable supporting a resident and their family, motivating your leadership team, meeting with local healthcare professionals or developing new community partnerships.

Most importantly, you’ll create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and proud to be part of Adel Square.

About You

You’re an experienced care home leader who combines commercial awareness with genuine compassion.

You understand that successful homes are built on strong relationships, high standards and outstanding people.

You’ll bring:

• Previous experience as a Registered Home Manager within elderly care.
• A proven track record of achieving strong occupancy levels and commercial success.
• Experience leading high-performing teams and developing future leaders.
• Good working knowledge of CQC regulations, safeguarding and compliance.
• A passion for delivering exceptional person-centred care.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Experience working within a premium or high-quality care environment.
• The ability to build positive relationships with residents, families, healthcare professionals and community groups.
• A commitment to continuous improvement and achieving excellence.

Above all, you’ll be a visible, approachable and inspiring leader who is passionate about making a difference every single day.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to take the lead in a beautiful purpose-built care home that has already completed its successful launch phase and is ready for its next chapter.

As Home Manager, you’ll have the autonomy to build on the excellent foundations already in place, developing your team, enhancing the resident experience, strengthening community connections and continuing to grow the home’s reputation for outstanding care.

You’ll be supported by an experienced senior leadership team, while having the freedom to make a genuine impact on the lives of residents, families and colleagues every day.
