Home Manager | The Hazelwell Care Home | Heswall in the Wirral
£75,000 to £80,000 per annum + up to 40% Annual Bonus + Private Medical Insurance
The Hazelwell Care Home is set in Heswall in the Wirral and provides residential, dementia and nursing care across three floors. This 55-beded home needs a strong leader who can bring everything together and build on what it already does so well.
On paper, the home is performing strongly:
* Occupancy at 94%, with room for further growth
* A Good CQC rating
* An excellent 9.5/10 score on carehome.co.uk
* Minimal agency usage, reflecting a stable and committed team
This is not a home in distress. However, a period without consistent leadership has created a gap not in care delivery, but in day to day structure and hands on leadership.
And that’s where you come in.
Not to fix something broken but to bring leadership back into full focus and to raise standards once again.
The Opportunity

* Taking a clear and hands‑on approach to improve quality audits and compliance.
* Supporting and re-energising an experienced and stable team.
* Making sure communication is open and works both ways.
* Building occupancy to full and keeping it there.Being present and accessible to families, professionals and stakeholders.
Success in this role is built through credible leadership.
Contract & Benefits
* £75,000 to £80,000 per annum
* Up to 40% annual bonus
* Private medical insurance
* Pension
* 5.6 weeks annual leave
The kind of leader this home needs
This role will suit an experienced Home Manager who leads with calm authority.
You’ll be comfortable stepping into a stable service and improving it through presence rather than pressure. You’ll understand how to balance quality and compliance without losing sight of the people delivering care.
We are looking for someone who:
* Leads with a calm and visible style.
* Has a strong understanding of nursing and dementia care.
* Is confident managing quality audits and compliance.
* Brings commercial awareness around occupancy, referrals and overall performance.
* Builds trust quickly with teams, families and professionals.
* Holds standards firmly, but fairly.
This is about perfecting standards and leading a home that already has strong foundations.
