INTERIM HOME MANAGER
Elderly Nursing Care Home
LOCATION: Glasgow
Compass Associates are working in partnership with an established elderly care provider to appoint an experienced Interim Home Manager for a nursing-led care home in the Glasgow area.
This is an immediate opportunity for an experienced operational leader with a proven track record of stabilising services, leading teams through periods of change and delivering measurable quality improvements.
The successful candidate will inherit a service requiring strong, visible leadership and will be expected to hit the ground running. This is not a developmental opportunity and would best suit an experienced Home Manager with turnaround expertise.
THE ROLE
As Interim Home Manager, you will take full responsibility for the operational leadership of the home, providing immediate stability while driving improvements across quality, compliance, staffing and overall service performance.
Working closely with senior operational leadership, you will assess current performance, implement robust action plans and build confidence across the staff team, residents and external stakeholders. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring resilience, credibility and the ability to make informed decisions at pace.
