The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an experienced Nursing Home Manager to take the lead at a new nursing home in Haywards Heath.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established and supportive care provider and take responsibility for a home from the very beginning.

Unlike stepping into an established service, you will have the opportunity to put your own stamp on the home, build and develop your team, shape the culture and play a key role in establishing the home as a high-quality nursing service within the local community.

The provider is looking for an experienced, clinically qualified Home Manager who combines strong leadership skills with a good understanding of quality, compliance and the commercial

requirements of running a successful nursing home.

Key Responsibilities

As Home Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the successful operation and development of the home.

Your responsibilities will include:

Taking overall responsibility for the day-to-day management of the nursing home

Leading the home through its opening and development

Recruiting, building and developing a high-performing care and nursing team

Creating a positive culture focused on high-quality, person-centred care

Ensuring the home operates in line with CQC regulations and required quality standards

Providing strong leadership and support to nurses, carers and the wider management team

Maintaining effective governance, auditing and quality assurance processes

Ensuring residents receive safe, effective and compassionate care

Developing strong relationships with residents, families, healthcare professionals and other external stakeholders

Managing staffing levels and ensuring the home has the appropriate skills and resources in place

Supporting occupancy growth and the commercial performance of the home

Managing budgets and maintaining effective control of operational costs

Ensuring policies, procedures and regulatory

requirements are consistently followed

Creating an environment where employees feel supported, developed and engaged

Taking ownership of the overall performance and reputation of the home

To be considered, you should:

Be a qualified RGN or RMN with a valid NMC registration

Have previous experience as a Home Manager, Registered Manager or Nursing Home Manager

Have strong experience within a nursing home environment

Have a thorough understanding of CQC regulations and quality standards

Be confident recruiting, developing and retaining a strong team

Have excellent leadership and people-management skills

Understand the operational and commercial

requirements of running a successful care home

Be able to build positive relationships with residents, relatives and external professionals

Be passionate about delivering excellent standards of care

Be comfortable taking ownership and making decisions in a senior leadership position

Experience of opening, commissioning or developing a new care home would be advantageous, although this is not essential.

What's on Offer?

Salary circa £70,000 per annum

Opportunity to lead a new nursing home

The chance to recruit and build your own team

Genuine opportunity to shape the culture and direction of the home

Support from an established care provider and ownership team
