Registered Home Manager – Nursing Home
Shropshire (commutable from Telford & the West Midlands)
£65,000–£75,000 + performance incentives
There's a version of this job where the best part of your week is spent waiting on head office to sign off a decision you could have made before lunch. This isn't that one.
This is an independently owned nursing home where the people you answer to actually know the building, the residents and the team by name. Hands-on owners, genuinely invested. No region to report into, no nine-layer approval chain, no playbook written by someone who's never met your residents.
What that means for you: you run the home. Properly. Clinical standards, governance, culture, all of it. You'll have backing when you want it and the room to lead when you don't. For the right clinician, that is the whole point.
The work is real. Complex nursing care, including palliative and end-of-life support done the way it should be done. You'll step into modern digital systems (electronic care planning, eMAR, online training) and a service that wants to be excellent, not merely compliant.
If you've quietly noticed that corporate life keeps turning leadership into paperwork, this is your way out.
The non-negotiables
Registered Home Manager experience within a nursing home setting
A clinical registration behind you (RGN or RMN)
A track record in a service rated Good or better, and the standards to keep it there
The confidence to lead autonomously. This home wants an owner, not a caretaker.
The package
£65,000–£75,000 depending on experience
Performance-related incentives
Direct, genuine support from the owners
The freedom to shape a service and build something worth putting your name to
This role is UK-based and does not offer visa sponsorship, so you'll need existing right to work here.
If it sounds like you, apply with your CV. Don't worry if it isn't bang up to date. Or if you'd rather talk it through before anything formal, call me for a confidential conversation.

Registered Manager (Nursing) | North Yorkshire | £75,000+
There's £75,000 on the table. The harder question is who's good enough to take it.
Most nursing home manager roles don't open at this level. This one does, and it isn't a typo. A well-established, family-owned care group is searching for a Registered Manager with the clinical credibility and leadership backbone to take the reins of one of its North Yorkshire nursing homes.
Here's the honest version. This home has real potential and a committed team already in place. What it's missing is the right person at the top to pull it all together and lead the next chapter. If you're the kind of manager who looks at that and feels the itch rather than the dread, keep reading.
You'd have genuine autonomy to run your home your way, with the financial firepower and head-office backing of a group that reinvests in its people and its homes rather than squeezing them. The number reflects the level of leader they're after. It is not a holding pattern.
The non-negotiables:
Valid NMC pin (RGN or RMN)
Proven management or deputy experience in a nursing home setting
The clinical judgement and commercial sense to run a home as your own
A leadership style people actually want to follow
What's in it for you:
£75,000+ package for the right individual
The autonomy to lead, backed by a group that means it
A real opportunity to make your mark, not babysit someone else's system
Long-term security with an owner that invests rather than flips
If this has your attention, send your CV (even a rusty, out-of-date one is fine, we can sort the polish later) or call for a completely confidential, no-obligation conversation. Discretion guaranteed.
Recruitment Panda Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or age.

Registered Manager (Nursing) | Merseyside / Liverpool | c.£70,000 + £10k Bonus
The hard part's done. Now someone gets to build on it.
Plenty of management roles ask you to dig a home out of a hole. This one's different. A family-owned care group is looking for a Registered Manager to take the helm of one of its Liverpool nursing homes, a home that's been quietly moving in the right direction and now needs a leader to keep that momentum going and push for more.
If you've spent your career inheriting other people's problems, this is the change of pace worth a phone call. You'd be steering an established team that knows what good looks like, with the freedom to lead and the backing of a group that puts its money where its values are: training, technology, and homes people are proud to work in.
It's a clinical leadership role with commercial teeth. You set the standard, you own the outcomes, and you're trusted to get on with it.
The non-negotiables:
Valid NMC pin (RGN or RMN)
Management or strong deputy experience in a nursing home
A track record of holding standards and lifting a team with you
Someone who leads from the floor, not the office chair
What's in it for you:
Circa £70,000 package
A home with positive momentum to build on, not rebuild from scratch
Genuine autonomy with proper head-office support behind you
A long-term, family-owned employer that reinvests in its people
If that sounds like your next move, send your CV (don't worry if it's not up to date) or call for a confidential, no-strings conversation. Complete discretion as standard.
Recruitment Panda Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or age.
