The Role
Compass Associates are retained on an exclusive search for an incoming Home Manager on behalf of a well-established, values-led elderly care provider.

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.
The remit is mandate-led and genuinely broad. The group is investing in senior leadership across the region and is looking for a Home Manager with the credibility and drive to reset quality, rebuild reputation locally, and take the service into a sustained Good rating and beyond.
Candidate
We are seeking a values-driven, credible and commercially astute leader with genuine change management experience.
You will combine clinical credibility (or strong governance oversight if non-nurse) with the confidence to lead across sales and marketing, workforce development and quality assurance in equal measure. You will be comfortable using data to inform decisions and equally comfortable in front of families, commissioners and regulators.
Experience of leading larger nursing services, delivering CQC improvement, or sustaining Good and Outstanding outcomes without agency reliance will be central. Above all, the successful candidate will be motivated by purpose and by the visible human impact of strong operational leadership.
