Home Manager – Nurse qualified - With turnaround experience 
Lytham St Annes – Northwest England
Up to £95,000 DOE
40% Bonus + Private Medical + Exceptional Support

I’m partnering with a leading national care provider to recruit an experienced Turnaround Home Manager for one of their flagship homes. The service is located in a beautiful coastal town Northwest coast.

This isn’t a typical Home Manager post. It’s a rare opportunity for a proven turnaround specialist to step into a high-potential service and lead a full transformation. With around 60+ residents currently in place and significant scope for growth, the right leader will shape the future direction of the home, elevate quality, and rebuild its reputation as a provider of choice in the region.

The Package

  • Salary up to £95,000 per annum
  • 40% annual bonus linked to quality, occupancy, and operational KPIs
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • Company pension scheme
  • 5.6 weeks annual leave

What We’re Looking For

  • Nurse-qualified with an active NMC PIN
  • Proven experience managing a nursing home with a minimum of 60 beds
  • A track record of turning around underperforming care homes
  • Strong understanding of CQC frameworks and delivering improved ratings
  • Commercially astute with the ability to drive occupancy, strengthen referral pipelines, and stabilise financial performance
  • A resilient, inspiring leadership style with the ability to unite, motivate, and develop teams
  • Genuine passion for creating a culture of high-quality, person-centred care
The Challenge Ahead
The home currently holds a Requires Improvement rating, with groundwork already underway to move forward. A recent inspection is expected to maintain the RI rating — providing the perfect moment for a new leader to step in, build momentum, and deliver measurable, sustainable improvement.
You’ll work alongside a highly supportive Regional and Quality Team, but this is your service to shape. You’ll be the driving force behind rebuilding trust, re-establishing referral streams, and re-energising the workforce.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead all operational and clinical functions of a large, complex service
  • Develop and deliver a full turnaround strategy focused on quality, safety, and compliance
  • Rebuild key external partnerships with commissioners, health professionals, and local authorities
  • Drive occupancy by restoring confidence and enhancing reputation
  • Inspire, coach, and develop your team to create a culture of accountability, pride, and shared purpose
  • Position the home as a leading care provider in the region
 
About the Provider
You’ll be joining a rapidly growing, family-run care organisation with over 130 homes nationwide. The group has seen significant expansion through both acquisitions and new service openings, underpinned by a strong commitment to quality, innovation, and supporting its leaders to succeed.
They invest heavily in their managers, providing clear development pathways, hands-on support, and a culture built on: Trust, Respect, Passion, Kindness, Inclusivity.
 
If you’re an experienced turnaround specialist with the resilience, clinical expertise, and strategic mindset to transform a large service, I’d love to speak with you. This is a role where your leadership will make a lasting impact — and your legacy will be visible for years to come.
