Job description

Home Manager

North Wales

Commutable from Chester, Wrexham, Wirral and the North West Coast

January has a habit of making people take stock.

Fresh pages. Clearer standards. Less tolerance for noise and more respect for leadership that actually holds.

If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "I could run a home better than this," this may be the moment that thought deserves your attention.

This opportunity sits within a well-established, purpose-built residential service in North Wales. It is stable, regulated and deeply rooted in its local community. Recently, the service has been acquired by a successful and well-established dementia specialist provider, bringing fresh investment, renewed focus and a clear long-term vision.

What makes that significant is timing.

The foundations are already in place. The home is known locally. The team understands its residents. What's now needed is a manager who can take what exists and lead it confidently into its next chapter, shaping standards, culture and practice under new ownership without losing the identity that made the service work in the first place.

This is a role with full accountability. Care quality, compliance, culture, people and performance all sit with you. CIW standards will already be second nature. Leadership here is not about hovering or micromanaging. It's about setting expectations, developing people and knowing when to step in and when to trust the team you've shaped.

This is not a turnaround and it is not a rescue mission.
It is stewardship, with the opportunity to influence the direction of a home as it enters a new era.

You may already be operating as a Registered Manager, or you may be a highly credible Deputy who no longer wants to wait for the right door to open. You'll be comfortable with governance, confident in front of inspectors and steady when pressure builds. You'll know how to lead nurses and care teams with authority and empathy, keeping a home both compliant and human.

There is genuine autonomy attached to this post, supported by senior leadership that understands its role is to enable rather than interfere. The salary reflects the responsibility. The expectations are clear. The opportunity to leave a lasting imprint is real.

For candidates based in Chester, Wrexham, the Wirral or along the North Wales coast, the commute works. More importantly, the role will too, if you're ready to guide a good home into its next phase of growth.
