Home Manager Opportunity | Thornfield Care Home, Seaton
£70,000 per annum + Annual Performance Bonus + Private Medical Insurance
We are looking for an experienced, values-led Home Manager to lead Thornfield Care Home in Seaton, on the stunning Jurassic Coast.
About the Role
Thornfield is a well-established 52-bed residential dementia care home, providing a warm, supportive and person-centred environment where residents are treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.
This is an opportunity for an established care-home leader who is motivated by protecting success, maintaining high standards, and continuing to move an already well-performing service forward.
Thornfield has a strong foundation to build upon, with 90%+ occupancy, a stable and committed workforce, strong community links, and a positive reputation.
The home has a good CQC rating and is well positioned for a Home Manager who can combine excellent care leadership with strong commercial and operational awareness.
The priority is not wholesale change. It is to understand the service, build strong relationships with the existing team and community, maintain the standards already achieved, and identify opportunities for further growth and improvement.
Contract
- £70,000 per annum, depending on experience
- Opportunity to earn up to 40% of salary through annual bonus
- Pension
- 5.6 weeks' annual leave
- Private medical insurance
Why This Role Matters
There is a great deal at Thornfield to be proud of and build upon.
The home has a Good CQC rating, supported by a strong commitment to quality, compliance, and resident wellbeing.
The next Home Manager will inherit a settled team and an established service with a positive culture and strong foundations.
Your role will be to build on this success; maintaining high standards of care and compliance while developing the team, strengthening stakeholder relationships, and supporting further occupancy and commercial performance.
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.
This is a leadership role for someone who recognizes the responsibility that comes with taking on an established home and has the judgement, energy, and ambition to lead it into its next chapter.
Your Opportunity
As Home Manager, you will have the freedom and responsibility to shape the next chapter for Thornfield.
Visible, approachable, and close to the everyday life of the home, you will lead with warmth and clarity; creating an environment where residents feel truly at home and colleagues feel supported, valued, and proud of the care they provide.
You will bring together care quality, people, and performance: strengthening your leadership team, building a stable permanent workforce, and maintaining strong oversight of compliance, occupancy, and budgets. Through clear expectations, thoughtful coaching, and confident decision-making, you will create a culture in which high standards become part of everyday practice.
Beyond the home, you will be a trusted presence for families and build positive relationships with healthcare professionals, commissioners, regulators, and the wider Seaton community. You will also have the backing of experienced regional and central teams across Care Concern Group.
The Leader We’re Looking For
You are an experienced care home leader who understands that an exceptional home is built through its culture, its people, and the experience of every resident.
Your background will include leading within residential and dementia care, developing capable teams, and achieving strong regulatory outcomes. You will be commercially aware and comfortable managing occupancy, budgets, and resources, without ever losing sight of the people behind the numbers.
Resilient, engaging, and solution-focused, you know how to provide clear direction while remaining approachable and supportive. You build trust, manage change confidently, and bring people with you; always keeping residents’ wellbeing, dignity, and choices at the heart of every decision.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience of managing a home of a similar size and complexity would be advantageous, but it is your leadership, judgement, and genuine passion for outstanding care that will set you apart.
Level 5 Leadership and Management qualification is essential.
Above all, you'll be a visible, supportive, authentic, and accountable leader who can engage an established team, maintain high expectations, and continue the positive journey Thornfield is on.
