Registered Home Manager – Nursing Home
Shropshire (commutable from Telford & the West Midlands)
£65,000–£75,000 + performance incentives
There's a version of this job where the best part of your week is spent waiting on head office to sign off a decision you could have made before lunch. This isn't that one.
This is an independently owned nursing home where the people you answer to actually know the building, the residents and the team by name. Hands-on owners, genuinely invested. No region to report into, no nine-layer approval chain, no playbook written by someone who's never met your residents.
What that means for you: you run the home. Properly. Clinical standards, governance, culture, all of it. You'll have backing when you want it and the room to lead when you don't. For the right clinician, that is the whole point.
The work is real. Complex nursing care, including palliative and end-of-life support done the way it should be done. You'll step into modern digital systems (electronic care planning, eMAR, online training) and a service that wants to be excellent, not merely compliant.
If you've quietly noticed that corporate life keeps turning leadership into paperwork, this is your way out.
The non-negotiables
Registered Home Manager experience within a nursing home setting
A clinical registration behind you (RGN or RMN)
A track record in a service rated Good or better, and the standards to keep it there
The confidence to lead autonomously. This home wants an owner, not a caretaker.
The package
£65,000–£75,000 depending on experience
Performance-related incentives
Direct, genuine support from the owners
The freedom to shape a service and build something worth putting your name to
This role is UK-based and does not offer visa sponsorship, so you'll need existing right to work here.
If it sounds like you, apply with your CV. Don't worry if it isn't bang up to date. Or if you'd rather talk it through before anything formal, call me for a confidential conversation.
