I am working with a forward-thinking and people-focused care provider who is looking to appoint an experienced Care Home Manager for a high-quality residential care home in Formby.

This is an excellent opportunity for a manager who wants genuine ownership of a service, strong operational support, and the autonomy to lead a home with ambition rather than simply maintain it.

You will be fully supported by a dedicated Operations Manager and an established on-site leadership and support team, including a Deputy Manager, nursing team, Administrator and housekeeping staff.

This role is suited to a manager who wants to innovate, inspire and lead a care home to excellence.

• Provide strong leadership to the staff team, promoting a culture of kindness, compassion and empathy
• Ensure the home meets all CQC and regulatory requirements, maintaining high standards of care
