Most manager jobs hand you someone else's home and someone else's problems. This one hands you a home that already works, and asks you to make it yours.
A well-run Leicester care home is looking for its next Registered Manager. The current manager is moving on after a long and settled tenure, leaving behind a full home, a steady team and a good local name. This is a home where care is treated as a craft, not a line on a budget, and where the operator wants a commercially minded leader they can trust to keep it strong and take it further.
So this is not a rescue job. It's a handover. You inherit occupancy that's already there, people who already know their residents by name, and an operator who backs good managers rather than second-guessing them. Your job is to protect what's good, put your own stamp on it, and build from a position of strength.
The non-negotiables:
You're a current or recent Registered Manager in residential elderly care, comfortable with the realities of publicly funded services
You can show what good looks like: occupancy you've held or grown, ratings you've maintained or lifted, teams that stayed
You lead from the floor, know your residents by name, and run a home that is both warm and genuinely well run
What's on the table:
Up to £65,000 for a manager with a real, evidenced track record
The autonomy to run the home as though it were your own
A settled, high-occupancy service to lead from day one, not turn around
For a private, no-obligation chat about the home, the operator and the full package, call or message Tim, or send your CV, even if it isn't fully up to date.
