Home Manager | Elderly Care Home

Home Manager | Elderly Care Home

Romford

Salary: Up to £70,000 per annum (DOE)

Are you an experienced Home Manager who can lead on occupancy, commercials and people, and stay to see the work through?

Do you build teams by setting a clear standard and taking people with you, rather than ruling with an iron fist?

Are you looking for a well-supported home in Greater London where the commercial picture is sound and the priority is getting the people side right?

Then this could be the position for you!

We are working with a well-regarded, family-owned elderly care provider seeking an experienced Home Manager for one of their Greater London services.

This is a priority appointment. Occupancy is close to full, commercially the home is in a solid place, and internal quality work is coming out as positive. The need is a resilient operational leader who will improve the people agenda, hold the team to a better standard, and stay for the long term.

Our client is a privately owned group with a small, quality-led portfolio and a clear plan for measured growth. Home Managers are supported by an accessible senior team, including operations, HR and additional on-site cover while the new manager and deputy are appointed.

Key Responsibilities

• Operationally and commercially lead the home, with clear ownership of occupancy, financial performance and day-to-day running.
• Lead the people agenda: set the standard, address habits that have built up locally, and take the team with you.
• Work in partnership with a clinically focused Deputy Manager so the pair counterbalance each other.
• Maintain and build on current compliance and quality work. This is a supported home, not a service that needs rescuing.
• Build confident relationships with residents, families, colleagues, commissioners and the wider leadership team.

The Ideal Candidate

• Proven Home Manager in elderly / residential care. This is not a first Home Manager appointment.
• Strong on occupancy, commercials and operational leadership. Clinical registration is welcome but not essential.
• Inclusive, resilient leader who can hold a line without being authoritarian.
• Someone who will improve the operational and people side and stay to see it through, rather than a career turnaround manager.
• Comfortable working as the operational counterpart to a clinically strong deputy.

The Home

• Established elderly care home on the East London / Essex border.
• Occupancy is close to full. Commercial performance is described as sound.
• A small nursing team is in place. There is no separate Clinical Lead; the Deputy Manager is intended to be the clinical lead.
• Additional operational, quality and HR support is already on site while the new leadership pair is appointed.
• A Deputy Manager is being recruited at the same time.

Location

The home is commutable from Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster, Dartford, Barking, Dagenham, Ilford, Brentwood, Tilbury, Stanford Le Hope, Rainham and other London and Essex areas

Summary

Our client is seeking an experienced, values-driven Home Manager for an established service on the East London / Essex border. Offering a salary of up to £70,000 per annum, this is a priority opportunity to take on an operational and commercial lead role with a privately owned group that wants someone who will improve the home and stay.
