Compass Associates are delighted to be supporting a well-established elderly care provider with the confidential recruitment of a Clinical Registered Manager for a luxury, medium-sized residential and nursing home in Leicester.

The home provides residential, dementia, dementia nursing and general nursing care, supporting older people with a range of care and clinical needs. The service is currently rated Good by CQC.

Offering a salary of £70,000 – £75,000 per annum, this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced, nurse-qualified Registered Manager to take ownership of an established service and play a key role in shaping its future direction.

The successful individual will be responsible for the overall operational and clinical leadership of the home, with a strong focus on quality, governance, culture, staff retention, resident experience and continuous improvement.

This appointment will suit a manager who enjoys being highly visible within a service, building strong relationships with residents, relatives and colleagues, and creating clear structure and accountability across the home.

The provider is looking for someone who can bring fresh energy and leadership to the service, challenge established ways of working where required and develop a culture where teams understand expectations and take ownership of delivering consistently high standards.
