Maintaining or improving quality compliance
While the home remains consistently full and operates with zero agency usage, compliance, governance, and leadership grip require urgent and sustained attention. A recent drafted Requires Improvement outcome from the CQC reinforces the need for decisive action.
Commercial performance is not the concern here. This role calls for a Home Manager who can step in with confidence, bringing structure, visibility, and calm authority. As Home Manager, you will take responsibility for re-establishing leadership presence and embedding best practice across a home where around 90% of residents are living with advanced dementia.
Through consistency, expertise, and emotional intelligence, you will rebuild trust, stability, and pride within the team.
Through visible leadership, professional credibility, and consistent follow-through, you will re-establish Mayflower as a trusted and collaborative care partner. This will include working closely with GPs, community health teams, mental health services, and local authorities to ensure joined-up care, shared confidence, and improved outcomes for residents.
Mayflower does not need another short-term fix, it needs a leader who is passionate about dementia care, confident in compliance, and determined to take the team on the journey together. You are an experienced, hands-on Home Manager with a strong background in complex dementia care. You are calm under pressure, clear in your expectations, and comfortable holding people to account, while remaining fair, compassionate, and supportive.
Whether nurse-qualified or non-nurse, you bring credible leadership experience, a deep understanding of advanced dementia needs, and a track record of improving services through presence, consistency, and cultural reset.
From spotting bad practice to celebrating small victories, you will guide Mayflower’s team to deliver meaningful, person-centred dementia care. Why Mayflower & Care Concern Group
