Registered Manager

North West
Up to £70,000
Registered Home Manager Salary - Up to £70,000 Location: Greater Manchester - North West Salary & Benefits: Salary up to £70,000, Subsidised meals & drinks, training & development, fully‑funded employee rewards scheme, employee assistance via health assured, onsite parking, 5.6 weeks annual leave, good samaritan fund, company events, pension scheme. The Hiring Organisation A second-generation, family-owned care business with ambitions for steady growth—rooted in sustainability, innovation, and deeply personal care. Located in a newly built care village, the care approach reimagines traditional care: households of small clusters revolve around open-plan kitchens, blending purposeful design with therapeutic benefits to create a true “home away from home.” Nature plays a vital role here: surrounded by 200+ trees, a lively aviary, and immersive open spaces, the environment supports wellbeing naturally—boosting mood, reducing anxiety, and encouraging independence. The Role We’re seeking an outstanding Registered Home Manager who: Holds proven experience in managing care home environments and in fostering strong, positive cultures. Is energized by pushing boundaries—not content with the status quo. Embraces non-pharmacological interventions and values people as individuals, not just care plans. Seeks a break from the corporate world and is adaptable to change. Can work collaboratively with a top-tier leadership team—including a Clinical Lead, Financial Controller, Regional Manager, and HR Manager—so you can focus on delivering outstanding, person-centred care. You don’t have to be a registered nurse, but you’ll benefit from strong leadership experience and a track record of quality care delivery, ideally with dementia experience. Your mission: steward an authentic, care-led home where residents thrive—not just exist. Why This Role Stands Out Design & Environment: Household model with open kitchens, reducing stress and supporting independent navigation. Every floor connects with the outdoors, promoting movement and calm. Central social and dining spaces encourage meaningful connection. Thoughtfully designed to boost sleep, nutrition, and overall wellbeing—in a true, homely setting. Wellbeing in Focus: Fitness for body and mind: access to an in-house gym, promoting regular activity and engagement. Nutrition-led dining: meals that nourish and delight, served in spaces that foster connection. Support & Culture: Small, integrated family-run leadership team, aligned on quality and sustainability. The opportunity to be a culture creator, shaping something truly special from the ground up.
