This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who combines genuine compassion for residents with the commercial discipline to run a well-led, financially healthy service — holding overall responsibility for the day-to-day and strategic running of the home, from CQC compliance and quality assurance to occupancy, budget and team leadership.

- Recruit, retain, supervise and develop a competent, compassionate and accountable care team.
- Act as an ambassador for Curaa with residents, families, staff, professionals, commissioners and the local community.
- Prepare for and lead CQC inspections, local authority reviews and other regulatory or governance visits.
- Oversee enquiries, show rounds, admissions and occupancy growth, building strong relationships with referrers and commissioners.
Requirements
- Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care, or willingness to work towards it.
- Proven leadership experience as a Registered Manager in a CQC-regulated adult social care or healthcare setting. Nursing background helpful but not essential.
- Strong working knowledge of CQC expectations, safeguarding, MCA/DoLS and health and safety, with a track record of running clean audits and inspections.
- A genuine commitment to person-centred, dignified and compassionate care.
Benefits

We offer a competitive salary, discretionary annual bonus of 10-15% for delivering KPIs (paid quarterly!), ongoing professional development and the chance to make a genuine difference to residents’ lives.
