Lichfield / Staffordshire · £60,000-£70,000 + bonus
Most homes want a manager to keep things ticking over. This one wants a builder. It's already settled and well-run, with a loyal team and a strong local name, but it's not standing still, and neither should you.
It's a mid-sized, purpose-built home delivering residential and dementia care, set in its own grounds and within easy reach of the M42, M6 Toll and the wider motorway network. The kind of place where families know the staff by name and the staff actually stay. There are real plans to develop nursing provision here, so alongside protecting what's already good, you'll help lead the home into its next phase. A settled base and a proper challenge, in one.
You'll run the home with real independence, owning quality, compliance, staffing and culture, backed by a quality team and senior leadership who trust experienced managers to actually manage.
We're open to nurse and non-nurse managers alike. Given where the home is heading, having run a nursing home before, or holding an active NMC pin, will put you in a particularly strong position.
The non-negotiables
A solid track record as a Registered, Deputy or Acting Manager (3+ years leading a home or service)
Level 5 Diploma in Health & Social Care, or well on the way
A proper grip on CQC standards, and the evidence you've used them to lift a service rather than just survive an inspection
Confident with local authorities, families and multidisciplinary teams
The kind of leadership that makes good people want to stick aroundWhat's on the table
£60,000-£70,000 + bonus, comfortably ahead of the local market
The chance to shape a home's move into nursing, not just hold the status quo
Autonomy that's real, not autonomy on a slide
Leadership and development behind you
A home you'll be proud to put your name toYou'll need full, unrestricted right to work in the UK; sponsorship isn't available for this role.
Send your CV, even if it's not bang up to date, or call for a confidential, no-pressure conversation. Everything is handled in complete confidence.
