Brief Description

Extraordinary People, Exceptional Care

Lead a diverse portfolio of care homes, develop exceptional leaders and make a visible difference to the quality of care for hundreds of residents.

Registered Manager

Location: Penwortham Grange and Lodge, Martin Field Road, Penwortham, Preston PR1 9HL

Salary: Up to £75,000 per annum plus performance-based bonus

Why this role matters

Penwortham Grange and Lodge provides residential, dementia, nursing and short-term respite care in a modern, purpose-built setting. The home is rated Good by CQC. We are looking for an experienced Home Manager who can protect what works well, raise ambition and lead a team that delivers safe, personal and consistent care every day.

This is not simply a role that keeps the home running. You will set the tone, be visible to residents, families and colleagues, and take full ownership of quality, people, occupancy and financial performance.

What You Will Be Accountable For

• Create a clear direction for the home and translate it into practical priorities for every team.
• Maintain strong clinical and care governance, with effective oversight of audits, incidents, safeguarding, complaints and improvement actions.
• Build a positive, accountable culture where colleagues feel supported, standards are understood and poor practice is addressed promptly.
• Recruit, retain and develop a capable team, with safe staffing and reduced reliance on agency colleagues.
• Know residents and families, listen well and respond openly when concerns are raised.
• Manage the home’s budget, staffing and resources responsibly while improving occupancy and strengthening local relationships.
• Work effectively with CQC, commissioners, health professionals and community partners.
• Be present, organised and decisive, particularly when the home faces pressure or change.
