Registered Manager – Nursing Home

Curaa is looking for an experienced Registered Manager to lead our 31-bed dementia nursing home, a well-established service on this site for over 35 years and rated Good by the CQC and Good on PAMMS. 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. You’ll be the home’s registered accountable person with CQC, and its most visible ambassador with residents, families, staff and the local community.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the home in line with our values of Respect, Integrity, Learning and Community, promoting dignity, independence, choice and wellbeing for every resident
  
• Own the home’s commercial performance, including occupancy, correct fee income, staffing efficiency and agency spend
  
• Maintain full compliance with CQC requirements, the Health and Social Care Act, safeguarding duties, MCA/DoLS, health and safety and GDPR
  
• Lead quality assurance, audits, risk management and continuous improvement to keep the home inspection-ready
  
• 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

What We’re Looking For

• 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
