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...
