Overview
Optalis operates two nursing homes - Bluebell House in Wokingham and The Hollies Care Home in Burghfield Common. We provide support to older people living with dementia, and nursing care for people aged 65 and over who are living with long term health conditions. The Hollies is set within a charming mansion house in the picturesque village of Burghfield Common. Optalis took over The Hollies in February 2025 and we have been working hard to reinvigorate the building, as well as build a great team to deliver care to our residents. We\'re here to help people enjoy their later life, whether that means participating in meaningful activities, remembering their past in positive ways, or simply relaxing in our garden or exploring pursuits that matter most. Peoples\' preferences, needs and wishes are central to the support we provide. We work with people we support and their loved ones to plan their care and support, to make sure that we know and understand what is important. We have strong working relationships with our local health and social care teams to ensure that our care and support adjusts as peoples needs change. We are looking to secure an experienced Manager with valid NMC pin to lead our nursing home team in delivering high-quality, relationship-centred care and services for all residents.

The Registered Manager will report directly to the Head of Nursing Services, ensuring the home consistently achieves and maintains at least a GOOD CQC rating.
