- Taking overall responsibility for the day-to-day management and performance of the nursing home.
- Leading, motivating and developing a multidisciplinary team.
- Ensuring safe, effective and person-centred care is consistently delivered.
- Managing referrals, admissions and occupancy, developing strong relationships with commissioners, local authorities, NHS services, hospitals and other professional networks.
- Assessing new referrals and contributing to admission decisions, ensuring residents' needs can be safely and appropriately supported.
- Balancing occupancy and commercial requirements with clinical suitability, safeguarding, resident compatibility and quality of care.
- Leading on regulatory compliance, clinical governance, safeguarding and CQC requirements.
- Building effective relationships with residents, families and external healthcare and social care professionals.
- Working collaboratively with GPs, mental health teams, social workers, community services and other professionals to provide a coordinated approach to resident care.
- Managing staffing, budgets and resources effectively.
- Driving continuous improvement across the home and maintaining a culture of dignity, respect and inclusion.
