Chelmsford, Essex
£45,000
Featherbank Selection is proud to be partnering with a luxury care home group to appoint a Dementia Care Manager for their beautiful home near Chelmsford.
This is a Head of Department role with full responsibility for a 41-bed residential dementia community, effectively a home within a home. It is a fantastic opportunity for someone who knows dementia care inside out to lead their own unit, shape the standard of care and develop a team, with the backing of a group known for stunning homes, exceptional care and strong values.
The Role:
You will lead the dementia community day to day, reporting to the Deputy Manager and working closely with the senior team. The role is supernumerary, but you will be hands‑on when needed, stepping in to support the team and cover shifts so residents always receive the best possible care.
Key areas
-
Leading and managing a 41-bed residential dementia community
-
Training, coaching and developing the team in best‑practice dementia care
-
Ensuring care plans are person‑centred, accurate and regularly reviewed
-
Building trusted relationships with residents and their families
-
Championing meaningful activity and engagement for residents living with dementia
-
Supporting DoLS, mental capacity and safeguarding processes

Working with the senior team to maintain high standards and CQC compliance
About You:
-
Strong dementia knowledge, with the confidence to train and inspire others
-
Experience leading teams in residential dementia care, for example as a Deputy Manager, Unit Manager, Dementia Lead or Dementia Care Manager
-
Hands‑on care experience and happy to step in on the floor when needed
-
Dementia‑specific training or qualifications are desirable
-
A warm, confident and visible leader who builds trust with residents, families and teams
-
This is residential dementia care, so a nursing qualification is not required
If you are passionate about dementia care and ready to lead your own community within a values‑led luxury care environment, I would love to speak with you.
