The Role
Compass Associates are retained on a fully confidential search for an incoming Registered Manager on behalf of a well-regarded, values-led independent nursing home operator.
This is a hands-on, visible leadership appointment at the heart of a close-knit nursing home. The successful candidate will take full operational and clinical responsibility for the service, working alongside the Operations Director and wider group leadership team to protect and build on the home's established quality position, continue occupancy growth and further develop the clinical team.
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 environment is genuinely high-trust and high-autonomy. The operator empowers its Registered Managers to lead their homes their own way, with meaningful group support sitting behind them rather than layered above them.
Candidate
We are seeking a confident, calm and diplomatic Registered Nurse leader who is comfortable leading from the front and building trust quickly across a mixed clinical and care team.
You will bring credible clinical governance experience, particularly around pressure area care, falls prevention, end-of-life care, safeguarding and CQC notifications. Equally, you will be commercially aware and comfortable with occupancy growth, self-funder markets, workforce planning and cost-effective rota management.
Experience within a value driven, hands-on, growth oriented care environment would be highly advantageous, as would exposure to leading a home through a period of change. Above all, the successful candidate will be motivated by purpose, by the pace and warmth of a value driven operator, and by the visible personal impact of running a home well.

Location
On-site at the home, Shoreham-by-Sea. Local candidates or those genuinely open to relocation are strongly preferred.
Summary
A rare opportunity to lead a well-established nursing home for a values-led operator that genuinely empowers its Registered Managers. Real autonomy, meaningful group support and the scope to make a lasting personal impact on a home you can properly call your own.
Full package includes a competitive base salary of up to £70,000 depending on experience, and wider benefits.
