HOME MANAGER – Specialist Mental Health ServiceNorth Wales | £55,000 – £60,000 + Bonus PotentialFull-time | Complex Mental Health | Commissioning Leadership Role
Are you ready to lead something bigger than just a service — to launch and shape the next generation of residential mental health care?
We’re seeking a dynamic and commercially-minded Home Manager to take the reins of a specialist mental health service preparing to double in capacity and enter a new era of growth.
This role isn’t for someone who wants to maintain the status quo.
This service is in the final stages of a major expansion and full fit-out. You’ll be instrumental in commissioning the new phase — from service design and staffing to regulatory preparation, marketing, and occupancy planning.
Your remit will include:
Launching and embedding a new unit within an existing service
Driving referrals and placements with a strong commercial eye
Leading a staff team who need clear direction, renewed energy, and purpose
Supporting a complex mental health cohort with trauma-informed care approaches
You’ll have the support of a capable Deputy, an engaged regional lead, and a strong infrastructure — but the vision and pace will need to come from you.
You don’t need to be a nurse — but you do need to be:
NVQ Level 5 qualified (or equivalent leadership qualification)
Proven in managing services through change, growth, or turnaround
Comfortable with the demands of CIW, commissioning, and compliance
Commercially savvy — you know how to make a service work both clinically and financially
Passionate about mental health and capable of leading with both heart and accountability
This is a rare opportunity to lead a new chapter in a well-positioned service, and put your mark on something from the ground up.
If you're ready to step into a commissioning-led leadership role with real autonomy and growth potential, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply in confidence or contact Tim to discuss further.....Read more...

Employer Description:At Wingate Community Nursery School, we believe in the old African Proverb, ‘It takes a whole village to educate a child’ and as such, work in true partnership with parents, carers and families to raise young children together, as the future citizens in society. We believe that a high-quality curriculum is not something to be ‘delivered’, but rather a journey we take together, rooted in a respect for children and their childhood and one that focuses on their needs, interests and rights – in particular, the right to play.
So, to ensure our curriculum is appropriate for young human beings, play is acknowledged as the serious work of childhood and is placed at the heart of what we do. Through relevant, meaningful, purposeful and playful contexts, facilitated by interested, knowledgeable, skilful adults, children have opportunities to gain knowledge, learn new skills and techniques and absorb a rich vocabulary.
More than anything, we want our children to love learning and to never stop loving learning; to be curious and ask questions, rather than answer them, to wonder why things happen and how things work, and to be intrigued enough to search for possible reasons why. We want them to believe in themselves and have a positive mindset, so that they grow into confident, competent, capable individuals within a community of people. And to help them achieve this, we want to give them hundreds and hundreds of opportunities to play.Working Hours :Between the hours of 7.30am-6.00pm - shifts will vary.Skills: Communication skills,Customer care skills,Logical,Team working,Creative,Initiative,Non judgemental,Patience....Read more...
