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
