Head of Care — The Role You've Been Building Towards
Some roles come along at exactly the right time.
A well-established, 20+bed residential care home for the elderly in the Staffordshire / Cheshire countryside is looking for a Head of Care to join a stable, close-knit management team. The home is full, the team is settled, and the CQC record is strong. What they need now is a confident, floor-based leader to keep standards high and help the service continue to thrive.
You'll work closely with the Manager and Deputy, mentoring senior carers, auditing care quality, coaching on best practice, and making sure every resident receives the attention and dignity they deserve. This is hands-on leadership, not a desk job and not a glorified senior role. You'll be trusted, supported, and genuinely valued.
What makes this different
This is a home where people stay. The Manager has been here for 8 years, the Deputy 9 years. Staff turnover is low, morale is high, and the culture is built on humour, honesty and teamwork. You won't be firefighting, you'll be building.
To be considered, you will need:
Leadership experience within a residential or nursing home setting - ideally supporting elderly residents, this is essential, not desirable
A full UK driving licence and your own transport — the home is in a stunning but rural location and public transport won't get you here
A minimum of NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care (or equivalent)
Experience using digital care planning systems, particularly PCS (Person Centred Software)
Full right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship — unfortunately we are unable to offer certificate of sponsorship for this position
What you'll get in return
A friendly, stable environment where your voice genuinely matters. Supportive leadership that backs you, not micromanages you. Flexibility around 36–40 hours, mostly weekdays with occasional weekend oversight. Pension, meals on duty, wellbeing support, and recognition awards. Real career development within a respected regional care group with eight homes.
Who this could suit
You might be a Senior Carer or Team Leader in a care home who's ready to step up. You might be an experienced Head of Care looking for a home that actually deserves you. Either way, if you've built your career in residential elderly care and you want somewhere stable, supportive and genuinely well-run, this is worth a conversation.
