The Role:
This is a substantial leadership opportunity for an experienced clinical or operational leader to take ownership of a complex service, lead a quality improvement programme and shape its future direction.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to make a tangible impact on care standards, workforce performance and the overall running of the home.
Reporting into the wider organisation, you will take responsibility for the home's day-to-day performance and longer-term development. You will need to combine strong operational management with the ability to lead confidently in a demanding care environment.
Key responsibilities will include:
Strengthening clinical governance, safeguarding and CQC compliance.
Driving improvements in care quality and resident experience.
Developing an effective leadership team and improving staff accountability.
Reducing agency reliance and improving workforce stability.
Managing budgets, occupancy and overall financial performance.
Ensuring staff are equipped to support residents with complex dementia needs and behaviours that challenge.

Managing complex needs, dementia care and behaviours that challenge.
Improving regulatory compliance and clinical or operational standards.
