Compass Associates are exclusively supporting the appointment of a Registered Home Manager for a specialist care service in Kingston upon Thames, supporting adults with complex neurological, physical and long-term conditions.

The 36-bed service provides specialist nursing care alongside rehabilitation programmes, working closely with a multidisciplinary team to support individuals with complex needs.

This is a Registered Home Manager position within a care home environment, with the added complexity of a specialist neuro-rehabilitation service. The successful candidate will therefore need to combine strong care home management experience with the clinical credibility and leadership skills required to operate within a highly specialist setting.

The successful Home Manager will take overall responsibility for the safe and effective running of the service, leading the team, maintaining strong CQC compliance and governance, and driving continued improvements across quality, people and operational performance.

• Ensuring effective care planning and person-centred outcomes.
• Working closely with the multidisciplinary team to support high-quality rehabilitation and care.
• Supporting recruitment, retention, supervision and staff development.
• Building strong relationships with residents, families and external professionals.
• Managing staffing levels, budgets and overall operational performance.
• Driving continuous improvement across the home.
• Working closely with the wider leadership team to support the continued development of the service.
