As Home Manager, you will have full accountability for Oakdene’s performance, culture, and future direction. Over the next 12–24 months, your focus will be on stabilising the home, strengthening quality and compliance, reopening and embedding new units, and improving financial performance through increased occupancy and fee optimisation.

You will lead from the front – working alongside your teams, coaching and developing capability, setting clear expectations, and holding people to account with fairness and consistency. You will balance high standards of care and risk management with commercial awareness, ensuring the home becomes both a great place to live and a sustainable, well-performing business.

This role offers genuine autonomy, strong organisational support, and the chance to create long‑term impact in a home with real potential.

You are an experienced Home Manager with a proven track record of turning around underperforming services, ideally across residential or nursing environments. You are clinically aware and confident in managing risk, governance, and regulatory compliance, with experience leading teams through inspection and recovery.

You bring strong commercial understanding – able to improve occupancy, optimise workforce deployment, and build financial resilience without compromising care quality. You are hands‑on, highly visible, and comfortable working alongside teams to understand the detail and drive change.

Most importantly, you are a consistent and trustworthy leader. You do what you say you will do. You value coaching, development, and accountability, and you have the resilience to rebuild morale in a home that has experienced instability and lost confidence in leadership.

This role requires a leader who leads with heart, integrity, and energy – someone who takes the time to listen, understand, and rebuild belief. You will empower teams through support and development, while being clear, firm, and fair about expectations and performance.

You will be transparent, values‑driven, and deeply committed to achieving high standards of care and quality. Your presence will bring stability, direction, and renewed motivation to a workforce that is ready for change but needs to see it delivered consistently.

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a complex, high‑impact turnaround within a supportive, well‑established organisation. Oakdene has the foundations, the space, and the potential. What it needs now is the right leader.

Oakdene Care Home is part of Care Concern Group, a family‑owned provider operating over 130 homes across the UK. We are committed to investing in our people, supporting our leaders, and delivering high‑quality, person‑centred care.

Our Values: Trust | Respect | Passion | Kindness | Inclusivity
