Home Manager in Cramlington

As a Care Home Manager at HC-One, you’ll value kindness above all. It touches upon every aspect of our Dementia, Residential and Specialist care homes. Every single person who works here understands that our residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One, as a Care Home Manager, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

In this role you will take responsibility for the well-being of our Residents, including making sure their physical, emotional and social needs are met. Leading, motivating and mentoring your team and delivering clinical guidance and training to ensure the safe, smooth and efficient running of the care home. Carrying out assessments, developing, implementing and evaluating individualised care plans for each of our Residents. Monitoring work areas and practices to ensure they are safe and conform to relevant standards, policies and legislation. Generally promoting our Residents’ independence, choice, dignity and respect by delivering the very best standards of care and striving for continuous improvement.

The position offers you a chance to lead that provision through effective leadership and home management. You’ll make sure we have the best people on-site, delivering a truly empathic service. And, whether you’re championing Resident wellbeing, establishing a vision and development plan for the home or carrying out quality assurance monitoring to take us above and beyond regulatory standards, you’ll do so with a sense of kindness above anything else.

We’re looking for a care home experienced Manager. You’ll also either have a Registered Managers Award Level 4, or Leadership and Management in Care level 4/5, or willingness to study for one. Not to mention leadership experience with multidisciplinary teams and conducting risk assessments. And, above all, whenever you communicate with a resident or co-worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
