Home Manager | Deeside Care Home | Aberdeen
Salary up to £60,000 + Annual Bonus up to 40% + Private Medical Insurance
Deeside Care Home is a highly regarded, purpose-built 68-bed nursing, residential and dementia service located in the Cults area of Aberdeen. Known for its warm culture, strong leadership and consistently high standards of care, Deeside operates at 94% occupancy, holds an excellent carehome.co.uk score of 9.8, and achieved Care Inspectorate grades of 5, 5, 5, 4, 5 at its most recent inspection.
This vacancy has arisen because the current Home Manager is progressing to commission a brand-new service within the group - a reflection of both individual success and Care Concern Group’s continued growth.

The Service

Families speak openly about trust, confidence and consistency. All markers of a service that is well led and emotionally secure.
The Opportunity
As Home Manager, you will hold full accountability for the performance, culture and reputation of Deeside Care Home.
Your focus will be on protecting what already works. You will be responsible for maintaining strong and consistent Care Inspectorate outcomes, sustaining high occupancy and sound commercial performance and retaining and developing a committed, stable workforce. Just as importantly, you will provide visible, credible leadership to residents, families and professionals, ensuring confidence in the service while continuing to evolve Deeside in a thoughtful, measured way that strengthens rather than disrupts its culture.
You will inherit a home with positive momentum, but that brings responsibility. High-performing services rely on leadership consistency, emotional intelligence and attention to detail. Your role is to provide that reassurance - to staff, residents and families alike.
This position requires a leader who is confident without being disruptive, and ambitious without being careless. Someone who understands that progress in a good home is built through steady leadership, not constant change.
About You
You are an experienced Home Manager with a proven track record of leading a nursing, dementia or mixed-care service. You understand the realities of managing a large care home -balancing quality, compliance, workforce stability and financial performance and you can clearly articulate how these elements connect.
You bring a strong grasp of Care Inspectorate standards and governance, alongside the commercial confidence to manage occupancy, budgets and complex staffing models. You lead with calm authority, building trust quickly through emotional intelligence, consistency and credibility. Above all, you are values-led. You prioritise dignity, respect and stability, and understanding that sustainable performance is built through people, culture and disciplined leadership.
A nursing background is desirable given the clinical profile of the home, but above all, you are a leader who understands people, culture and accountability in equal measure.
Leadership Style & Cultural Fit
Deeside needs a Home Manager who leads with quiet authority rather than ego - visible, accessible and trusted. You will balance support with accountability, set clear expectations, coach others effectively and remain close to operational detail, all while respecting the home’s strong identity and carrying it forward with confidence rather than trying to overwrite it.
Why Deeside?
It is far easier to inherit a struggling service than a successful one but far more meaningful to be trusted with something that already works. Deeside offers the chance to lead a respected Aberdeen home, with autonomy, support and the scope to shape its future without needing to fix its past.
