Job Description

We are working with a growing elderly care provider seeking an ambitious and quality-focused Commissioning Home Manager to lead a brand-new 80-bed care home in Brentwood, Essex. The service will provide high-quality nursing, residential, and dementia care within a luxury, purpose-built environment designed to offer an exceptional standard of living for residents. The successful candidate is expected to join the business in July/August 2026, with first admissions anticipated from November 2026. This will provide the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the culture, team, systems, and reputation of the home from the very beginning. Importantly, previous commissioning experience is not essential. The provider has a dedicated Commissioning Director and experienced Regional Director in place to support the successful candidate throughout the commissioning process. What is essential, however, is a manager with incredibly high standards, strong leadership ability, and a proven track record of achieving Good or Outstanding CQC ratings. Our client is a respected and expanding care provider with a strong reputation for delivering premium elderly care services. The organisation empowers its Home Managers with genuine autonomy while ensuring they receive high levels of operational and strategic support. With a focus on quality, resident experience, and long-term success, this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced leader to build and shape a flagship service within a growing organisation.

Job Responsibility

  • Lead the commissioning and operational setup of a brand-new 80-bed care home
  • Recruit, develop, and inspire a high-performing multidisciplinary team
  • Embed a positive culture focused on quality, hospitality, and resident experience
  • Ensure the home is fully prepared for CQC registration and ongoing compliance
  • Drive occupancy growth with a focus on attracting predominantly self-funding residents
  • Build strong relationships with residents, families, local professionals, and the wider community

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a successful Home Manager within elderly care
  • Strong track record of achieving and maintaining Good or Outstanding CQC ratings
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and people management skills
  • Commercially aware with the ability to support occupancy growth within a premium market
  • Passionate about delivering high-quality nursing, residential, and dementia care
