About the role
As our Customer Relationship Manager, you’ll play a key role in the exciting launch of our brand-new 80-bed care home, opening early 2027.
You’ll manage the customer journey from initial enquiry through to move-in, building strong relationships with prospective residents and their families and providing a professional, compassionate and positive experience throughout.

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Designed around residents’ comfort, wellbeing and independence, Melksham Gardens will offer luxury en-suite bedrooms, including suites for couples, as well as a range of exceptional facilities including private dining spaces, a cinema, gym, activities room, hair salon and wellness spa.
The home will also include a dedicated family suite, enabling loved ones to stay close when needed.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the team at the beginning of the home’s journey and play a key role in launching Melksham Gardens, establishing its reputation within the local community and helping create a thriving resident community from the outset.
Your earning potential
In addition to your £30,000–£32,000 basic salary, you’ll receive commission for qualifying self-funded residents who move into your allocated home.
You can earn up to £300 per qualifying permanent resident. Commission is payable once the minimum threshold has been met.
This is an excellent opportunity to combine your relationship-building and sales skills with the potential to increase your earnings as you help establish and grow our new home.
About you
We’d love it if you had previous care home sales experience or an understanding of the care sector. However, if you have experience in sales, business development, customer service or relationship management, we’d like to hear from you!
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.

You’ll be commercially aware and motivated by achieving occupancy targets, while always putting the customer experience at the heart of what you do.
