Nurse Qualified Home Manager (RGN / RMN)

Job description

Nurse Qualified Home Manager (RGN / RMN)

Large Nursing Home – North West England

Salary: £65,000 per annum

An established care provider is recruiting for an experienced, nurse-qualified Home Manager to lead a large nursing home in the North West.

This is a senior leadership role within a complex, multi-service environment and would suit a confident, people-focused manager with strong clinical governance experience.

The Service

• Large nursing home (up to 77 beds, currently operating below maximum capacity)
• Mixed service provision including:
• Dementia nursing care
• General nursing care
• Residential dementia care
• Additional unit currently closed and being repurposed, with future plans for complex care (potentially complex mental health or complex clinical care such as tracheostomy/ventilation)

The home is located on a shared site with another specialist service; however, this role has sole responsibility for the nursing home only.

The Opportunity

The service has a long-standing and committed leadership team, including:

• An experienced Deputy Manager (nurse stepping down from Home Manager role)
• A full-time, supernumerary Clinical Manager with excellent knowledge of the service
• Strong organisational support

Due to the size and complexity of the service, the provider is now seeking a dedicated Home Manager to ensure sustainable leadership and continued improvement.

Key Challenges & Focus Areas

• Improving occupancy consistency in a service that currently experiences high admission turnover
• Strengthening clinical oversight, particularly around:
• Pressure area care and repositioning protocols
• RPI processes
• Management of unexplained injuries and incident reporting
• Providing clear, supportive, and structured management to a loyal but historically under-managed staff team
• Embedding accountability while maintaining a positive and caring culture

The Ideal Candidate

• Registered Nurse (RGN or RMN)
• Proven experience as a Home Manager in a nursing or complex care environment

(strong Deputies ready to step up may be considered)

• Confident managing large teams and complex clinical risk
• Calm, supportive, and decisive leadership style
• Strong understanding of CQC standards and governance

Package

• Salary: £65,000 per annum
• Stable, supportive senior management structure
• Opportunity to lead a large, well-established service with future development potential

Please apply directly or send your CV to Will Mellor on W.Mellor@linqrecruitment.co.uk to be considered.
