Remit
Compass Associates are proud to be exclusively partnering with one of the UK's most respected elderly care providers to recruit an exceptional Home Manager for a Nursing, Residential and Dementia Care Home in West Sussex.
This is not a "business as usual" management position.
It's an opportunity to take ownership of a home that has been identified as a key investment for the provider, with significant refurbishment plans, committed senior leadership and the resources needed to deliver genuine, long-term transformation. If you're the type of leader who enjoys creating high-performing teams, improving quality, building a positive culture and seeing the direct impact of your leadership, this is the sort of opportunity that can define your career.
You'll inherit an established clinical leadership team, including a Clinical Deputy and Clinical Leads, allowing you to focus on what great Home Managers do best, leading people, improving standards, developing talent and creating an exceptional home for residents and colleagues alike.
You'll also benefit from the support of an experienced Regional Director, dedicated Quality Team and Learning & Development specialists, ensuring you're never expected to face challenges alone. For the right individual, this role offers the chance to build something you're genuinely proud of whilst joining a provider renowned for promoting from within and investing heavily in its leaders.
