About The Role

Lead high-performing care homes, develop exceptional leaders and deliver outstanding quality, operational and commercial outcomes across a portfolio of services.

Introduction

This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking care organisation committed to delivering outstanding care across a diverse portfolio of homes. Supported by long-term investment and a collaborative leadership team, you'll have the opportunity to develop high-performing Home Managers, improve quality and drive sustainable commercial success while making a meaningful difference to residents' lives.

About The Role

Reporting to the Regional Director, you'll provide strategic and operational leadership across a portfolio of care homes, ensuring each service delivers safe, high-quality, person-centred care alongside strong commercial and operational performance.

Working closely with Home Managers and central support teams, you'll coach and develop leaders, drive continuous improvement and ensure homes consistently achieve high standards of quality, regulatory compliance and resident experience.

You'll oversee performance across quality, occupancy, financial results, workforce planning and operational delivery, using insight and data to identify opportunities, manage risk and support homes to achieve sustainable success. You'll also build strong relationships with commissioners, local partners and stakeholders, representing the organisation as a trusted provider within your region.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
