An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and hands on Home Manager to lead a well-established, 80+ bed nursing home in Guildford.

This service is currently operating successfully with strong occupancy and a stable, experienced team in place. We are seeking a confident leader who understands the day to day realities of care home operations and can continue to drive high standards across the service.

About the Role

You will have full operational responsibility for the home, overseeing specialist units including general nursing, dementia care, and end of life care. You will work closely with an established Clinical Manager, Quality Assurance Manager, and Unit Managers to ensure smooth running, regulatory compliance, and the delivery of exceptional person centred care.

This role requires a visible, approachable leader - someone who is present within the home, supports their team, and leads by example.

• Provide strong, hands on leadership across all departments

• Ensure safe, effective, and compliant clinical and operational practices

• Support and develop the existing management team

• Maintain occupancy and financial performance

• Foster a positive culture focused on quality care and teamwork

• Ensure continued regulatory compliance and quality standards

About You

• Strong understanding of care home operations and CQC requirements

• A practical, common sense leader who leads from the front

• Experienced in managing multidisciplinary teams

• Committed to delivering high quality, resident focused care

We are specifically looking for a leader -not someone who operates solely at a strategic or senior management level -but an individual who is confident being on the floor, supporting their team and ensuring standards are consistently maintained.

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary of £86,000 - £90,000 (dependent on experience)

• Established, stable team

• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a well run home

If you are an experienced nursing home leader looking for your next challenge within a stable and supportive environment, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
