Care Home Manager

Rated 'Good' this year by CQC, Pratt House is a purpose built care facility located in Amersham. The home offers care and support to up to 29 residents in a warm and welcoming setting. There is a spacious garden filled with beautiful flowers and ample seating so residents can enjoy the fresh air and relax in the outdoors whilst catching up with family and friends. Essentially you will be joining a fantastic team, in a well supported home with great culture and core values.

The Role - 

This role would be ideally suited to someone currently in a Registered Manager role of a small residential service, or a Deputy Manager of a larger care home setting, looking to take that step up the ladder. 

Our Care Home Managers are inspired leaders, who put the needs of our elderly residents at the forefront. You'll be a role model for Abbeyfield's values and you’ll inspire your team to embody them too. You’ll be responsible for the success of your home, which spans financial results, resident satisfaction, team engagement and external regulatory outcomes. As the Care Home Manager you’ll also drive the development and growth of your team members.

You’ll use your specialist knowledge to ensure the delivery of all our care services to the highest standard. You’ll oversee the home’s finances, including managing occupancy, ensuring we deliver on revenue targets, as well as budget planning and cost control.

Competent in creating and developing strong internal and external relationships, the Care Home Manager will play an important role in strengthening the Abbeyfield brand as a trusted healthcare partner with key audiences including Local Authorities and the CQC.
