Colten Care are recruiting for a Home Manager to manage staff and resources so that each resident can enjoy a fulfilled life. You’ll be working closely with your Clinical Lead and the wider healthcare and hospitality teams to ensure the quality of individual service and care consistently meet our own high standards and those of our regulators.

Reporting to the regional Operations Manager, you will create and lead a vision for the home to ensure a philosophy of continuous improvement, encouraging and supporting the home’s journey to ‘outstanding’. Whilst managing people and processes, being a Home Manager is a complex, influential and highly rewarding role involving close liaison with residents, their families, professional contacts and multi-disciplinary teams.

There is plenty of scope to build and maintain community contacts, whilst continuing to grow the home's reputation connecting with community engagement opportunities in the local area. To help you achieve and be successful, you’ll be supported by our fantastic customer service and marketing teams.

Our ideal candidate will have relevant care home management experience and a good track record of performance.  You’ll ideally have experience of working in a medium to large nursing home, understand the commercial aspects of the business and the CQC regulations.

If you are a qualified Nurse, that would be great but not essential, as you will be supported by a Clinical Lead.  A Level 5 diploma/NVQ qualification in Health and Social Care is desirable.

You’ll align to our values, being an individual who is friendly, kind, honest and reassuring. An effective leader and communicator, you'll share our goal of delivering excellence that is individual to our residents. 

In return we offer a competitive salary, bonus and benefits.  Full induction and ongoing training provided, plus you will be supported by a network of clinical and professional support teams.

In addition, the benefits include:

• Discretionary bonus
• Reimbursement of relevant annual professional subscriptions, including NMC registration
