REGISTERED MANAGER Leicester | Residential Elderly Care | Up to £65,000
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.
Recruitment Panda Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or age. By submitting your application, you consent to Recruitment Panda Ltd processing your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, a copy of which is available on request (or via the below link where this is viewed on www.recruitmentpanda.com). ....Read more...
