Another boring job advert. Care Home Group, Director of Operations vacancy. Large portfolio. Wholly owned. High six figure package. Yawn...
It goes on. More than £10k car allowance, enhanced annual leave, 35 hour week (yeh right), triple salary life assurance, PMI, PHI (whatever that is), enhanced pension, enhanced paid family leave (that's a thing now), blah blah blah. Seriously, it's all written in black and white, with C Suite sign off and it's got corporate, business and suits written all over it. Boring, right?
Wrong!?
This job is EXCEPTIONAL. A few reasons why:
The reason it exists is exceptional. Not a restructure and not a firing! Exceptional.
Foresight and leadership. Both of which are exceptional and it'll be CRUCIAL you enhance these aspects.
Opportunity. Exceptional. Not just to make a few quid or enhance a CV but to SHAPE HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE IN THE UK for decades to come. Exceptional.
There are not many organisations who're genuinely in a position to offer such an opportunity and fewer still capable of achieving number 3. By my reckoning, these guys are at the very top of the list and I can't wait to tell you why.
1x Stipulation - YOU MUST HAVE MANAGED SENIOR MANAGERS (IN A LARGER CARE HOME BUSINESS). Otherwise, your application will only be compelling if you've managed senior managers and have compelling elderly care, care home knowledge/experience and other examples of operating at scale.
