Bearehill Care Home provides nursing, residential and dementia care within an intimate, characterful Georgian setting that residents and families genuinely value for its warmth, individuality and homely feel. Supported by a stable and compassionate core team, the home operates with zero agency reliance and benefits from a strong local reputation and established community presence. The opportunity now is to build on these solid foundations: enhancing consistency, strengthening inspection outcomes and confidently driving occupancy growth through visible leadership and disciplined operational focus.
As Home Manager, you will take full accountability for the performance, culture and reputation of Bearehill Care Home. You will strengthen and sustain regulatory compliance, ensuring inspection readiness is embedded in everyday practice rather than treated as an event. You will drive occupancy beyond current levels through proactive community engagement and confident local leadership, enhancing both reputation and commercial performance. At the same time, you will continue building a stable, motivated workforce; setting high expectations, developing talent and creating a culture where accountability and compassion sit side by side.
You will inherit a home with solid foundations and genuine potential. Someone who can balance empathy with commercial awareness, protect quality while strengthening performance, and inspire confidence at every level of the organisation.
You are an experienced Home Manager with a track record of leading a medium-sized nursing, dementia or mixed-care service. You understand how quality, compliance, occupancy and workforce stability interconnect and you can evidence success across those areas.
Strong knowledge of Care Inspectorate or CQC standards
Experience preparing for and responding to inspections
Commercial confidence managing occupancy, budgets and fee levels
Emotional intelligence and resilience
You understand that improving performance in a good home is about consistent leadership rather than disruptive change.
