Admissions Manager — Residential Care Group | Leicestershire | Up to £30,000 + Performance Bonus
If you've spent time guiding families through one of the most difficult decisions they'll ever make, you already understand what this role is really about.
A well-established, family-run care group in Leicestershire is recruiting an Admissions Manager. It's a new role, ready for the right person to shape it, own it, and build something genuinely meaningful within a business that has real heart.
The Role
As Admissions Manager, you'll oversee all bed enquiries across a group of well-loved residential care homes, managing the pipeline from first contact to successful admission.
Day to day, you'll be:
Developing and maintaining a comprehensive enquiry and logging system
Building strong relationships with social workers, local authorities, and brokerage teams
Acting as a visible, trusted presence in the community and across the homes
Collaborating with home managers to ensure smooth, person-centred admissions
Producing regular reports on enquiries, conversions, and occupancy
Supporting marketing initiatives to promote the group's services
This isn't a desk-bound role. You'll be out, about, and in front of people, which is exactly how it should be.
Who They're Looking For
There are a number of roles in the care sector that would translate directly into this position, whether you're currently working as an Admissions Coordinator, Admissions Officer, Admissions and Discharges Coordinator, Home Admissions Advisor, or in a referrals and community outreach capacity, your experience is highly relevant here.
If you've spent time managing enquiry pipelines, nurturing relationships with social workers and local authorities, and guiding families through what is often an emotional and complex decision, this role will feel like a natural next step.
You'll also bring:
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
Solid organisational ability and attention to detail
Comfort with CRM systems and data management
The confidence to work independently while being a real team player
Equally, if you're an experienced Home Manager or Deputy who has a strong track record of filling beds and fancies a fresh challenge without leaving the sector, it's worth a conversation.
The Package
Up to £30,000 basic salary, plus a performance-related bonus linked to conversions and occupancy. The bonus structure is being finalised, but for the right candidate, this represents a genuine opportunity to meaningfully increase your earnings as the role grows.
