Job Description
Registered Manager Small, Friendly Care Home
We re working with a small residential care home for older people in Lanark, and we re looking for someone special to take on the role of Registered Manager.
This is a lovely home, run by a charitable organisation, that genuinely feels warm and welcoming. It supports just ten residents, so it has a real sense of community and a homely atmosphere. The home is already rated as Excellent by the Care Inspectorate and is well-regarded in the local area. Your role will be to keep those standards high and make sure residents continue to receive the kind, person-centred care they re used to.
This could be the ideal next step for a Deputy or Care Manager who s ready to take that step up, or it might suit an experienced Registered Manager who s looking for a smaller, more manageable home where you can focus on quality rather than paperwork.
What s on offer:
- Starting salary £38,500 , Rising by £1000 once registered with the Care Inspectorate
- A calm, well-run home with a long-standing, supportive team
- The chance to work for a charity that puts residents needs first, not profit
- A genuinely rewarding role where you can make a real difference
About the role:
- Full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the home
- Leading and developing a committed staff team
- Making sure the home continues to meet Care Inspectorate standards
- Taking the lead on health and safety and legal compliance
- Promoting the values and ethos of the charity
- Reporting to the board on quality, performance and ongoing improvements
What we re looking for:
- Ideally we re looking for an experienced Registered Manager / Home Manager to take up this role. We are open to considering a Deputy Manager who can demonstrate the ability to step up into the Registered Manager responsibilities
- Experience in elderly care, ideally within a residential setting
- Strong leadership skills with a collaborative approach
- A good understanding of care regulations and best practice
- SVQ 4 / SCQF Level 7 in Health and Social Care or equivalent
- Able to join the on-call rota (1 in 3 weeks)
- Within a reasonable commute of Lanark
