The purpose of the role

  • Calm, level headed and pragmatic
  • Very supportive and non-controlling
  • Very willing to take on responsibility and happy to respond to emergency situations
  • Able to work independently (but of course also a team player)

Essential experience required

  • Experience of working in large care homes in management positions - you might be a current care home manager, deputy manager, a clinical lead etc.
  • Someone with longevity on their CV - we want someone who wants to join us and be with us for the long term (we are not looking for someone who cannot stay in a job for a prolonged period)
  • A sound understanding about the importance of high occupancy, careful management of payroll (and other costs) and not using agency
  • Good with computers and technology, with experience using electronic care plans
  • Experience of dealing with safeguarding investigations and meetings
  • Experience of undertaking HR investigations and hearings

About the role

  • This role would typically be based 3-4 days in a care home and 1-2 days working from home with occasional office days.
