Nurse Qualified Home Manager (RGN / RMN)
Large Nursing Home – North West England
Salary: £65,000 per annum
An established care provider is recruiting for an experienced, nurse-qualified Home Manager to lead a large nursing home in the North West.
This is a senior leadership role within a complex, multi-service environment and would suit a confident, people-focused manager with strong clinical governance experience.
The Service
* Large nursing home (up to 77 beds, currently operating below maximum capacity)
* Mixed service provision including:
* Dementia nursing care
* General nursing care
* Residential dementia care
* Additional unit currently closed and being repurposed, with future plans for complex care (potentially complex mental health or complex clinical care such as tracheostomy/ventilation)
The home is located on a shared site with another specialist service; however, this role has sole responsibility for the nursing home only.
The Opportunity
The service has a long-standing and committed leadership team, including:
* An experienced Deputy Manager (nurse stepping down from Home Manager role)
* A full-time, supernumerary Clinical Manager with excellent knowledge of the service
* Strong organisational support
Due to the size and complexity of the service, the provider is now seeking a dedicated Home Manager to ensure sustainable leadership and continued improvement.
Key Challenges & Focus Areas
* Improving occupancy consistency in a service that currently experiences high admission turnover
* Strengthening clinical oversight, particularly around:
* Pressure area care and repositioning protocols
* RPI processes
* Management of unexplained injuries and incident reporting
* Providing clear, supportive, and structured management to a loyal but historically under-managed staff team
* Embedding accountability while maintaining a positive and caring culture
The Ideal Candidate
* Registered Nurse (RGN or RMN)
* Proven experience as a Home Manager in a nursing or complex care environment
(strong Deputies ready to step up may be considered)
* Confident managing large teams and complex clinical risk
* Calm, supportive, and decisive leadership style
* Strong understanding of CQC standards and governance
Package
* Salary: £65,000 per annum
* Stable, supportive senior management structure
* Opportunity to lead a large, well-established service with future development potential
