Home Manager - £46,000 - Small, Homely 20+ Bed Dementia Residential Home - Castle Cary

We're looking for an experienced, passionate Registered Manager (or a strong Deputy ready to step up) to Registered) to take the reins of our lovely family-run residential dementia home in the heart of beautiful Castle Cary, Somerset (BA postcodes).

Currently rated GOOD overall with OUTSTANDING in Caring - we now want the right person to lead us all the way to Outstanding at the next inspection.

About the home & the role:

• 20+ beds - proper small-home, family feel
• All residential dementia care
• Supportive owners who genuinely care about staff and residents
• Monday-Friday contract (40 hours) with paid on-call rota (very reasonable)
• £46,000 salary (£22.11 per hour equivalent)
• 28 days holiday + bank holidays
• Real scope to put your own stamp on the home and build something special

You'll need:

✅ Proven experience as a Registered Manager (or Deputy very close to pinning) in a Good or Outstanding home

✅ Strong track record in dementia care

✅ Passion to drive to get the home to Outstanding

✅ Level 5 Leadership & Management (or willing to complete)

✅ Up-to-date CQC knowledge and a real "hands-on when needed" approach

If you love smaller homes where you actually know every resident and every staff member by name, and you're ready for your next Outstanding success story… this is it!

Get in touch today - interviews are happening next week and we'd love to move quickly for the right person.

Let's go and get that Outstanding together
