Home Manager - Care Home (Permanent) in Scotland

Almond Valley opened its doors in 2024 as a brand-new, purpose-built luxury care home in Livingston. In a relatively short period, it has gone from a new development welcoming its first resident to an established home with growing occupancy, an exceptional regulatory record and a reputation we are incredibly proud of. At its first Care Inspectorate inspection, Almond Valley achieved Grade 5 – Very Good – across every area inspected.

So why are we recruiting a new Home Manager? Because the person who helped build it is ready for their next challenge. Our current Home Manager has spent nearly 20 years with our organisation, beginning their career delivering direct care and progressing through the ranks into management and leadership. Most recently, they have led Almond Valley through its commissioning journey; opening the home, building its team, growing occupancy and establishing the standards and culture that exist today.

This is no longer a commissioning home finding its feet. Residents and families are recommending the home, and its first independent inspection has demonstrated the quality being delivered. At around 71% occupancy, there is still a great opportunity for growth. The challenge for the next Home Manager is to protect everything that has made the home successful so far while taking its performance to another level. That means continuing to build occupancy without compromising quality and establishing it as one of the standout care homes in Scotland.

The next Care Inspectorate visit should find a home that hasn't simply maintained its standards but continued to evolve. Quality creates reputation. The best Home Managers understand the relationship between all three.

We're less interested in how many years you've held the title of Home Manager and much more interested in what you've done with them. Perhaps you've improved quality, grown occupancy, built an exceptional team, reduced agency dependency or transformed the culture of a home. You'll be comfortable talking about quality, occupancy, staffing, culture and commercial performance because you understand that none of them operate independently.
