Home Manager | Elderly Nursing Care Newport, South Wales
Bonuses: Monthly Occupancy Bonus + Annual Christmas Bonus
Are you a leader who enjoys managing a smaller care home, rebuilding team culture, and restoring occupancy?
And are you comfortable owning regulatory administration, governance paperwork and operational leadership, allowing clinical teams to focus on direct care delivery?
We are working exclusively with a growing, family-run care provider that currently operates two established elderly care services, with sensible plans underway to acquire a third. The home itself is 32 beds, well-known in the local community, and previously operated at full occupancy with a waiting list, supported by a positive team culture and strong word-of-mouth reputation. The business is now seeking a practical, people-led, administratively strong Home Manager to reset culture, rebuild confidence, restore occupancy and uphold regulatory excellence.

Specialist focus in elderly nursing, residential and very light dementia care.
