An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and hands-on Home Manager to lead a well-established, 80+ bed nursing home in Guildford.
This service is currently operating successfully with strong occupancy and a stable, experienced team in place. We are seeking a confident leader who understands the day-to-day realities of care home operations and can continue to drive high standards across the service.
About the Role You will have full operational responsibility for the home, overseeing specialist units including general nursing, dementia care, and end-of-life care. You will work closely with an established Clinical Manager, Quality Assurance Manager, and Unit Managers to ensure smooth running, regulatory compliance, and the delivery of exceptional person-centred care.
This role requires a visible, approachable leader - someone who is present within the home, supports their team, and leads by example.
