What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out?

• Meaningful Impact: At its core, this role is about enhancing the lives of residents and supporting their families. The satisfaction derived from directly contributing to well-being and happiness is immeasurable.
• Competitive Remuneration and Benefits: Beyond a competitive salary, this role includes a significant 30% Home Manager bonus, showcasing the value placed on your leadership. The comprehensive benefits package is designed to support your financial and personal well-being, featuring an impressive total pension contribution of 18% (12% employer/6% employee), private health insurance, and 7x salary life assurance.

• Career Development: Bupa is committed to your professional growth. You'll benefit from a comprehensive induction program, ongoing training, and development opportunities to further your career in the care sector.

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

• Leadership Excellence: This role demands strong leadership skills to inspire and manage a multi-disciplinary team. You'll be instrumental in fostering a culture of outstanding, personalized care, consistently prioritizing resident well-being and seeking innovative ways to enrich their lives.
• Strategic Business Acumen: Beyond care delivery, you'll be responsible for managing all facets of the home, including identifying business opportunities, effectively managing budgets, and ensuring the operating profit of the home. This requires a strategic mindset and strong commercial awareness.
• Regulatory Compliance: Operating within a heavily regulated sector, a thorough understanding of compliance is crucial. You'll be expected to maintain the highest standards across all relevant areas and become registered with the regulator.
• Relationship Building: Cultivating strong internal and external relationships is paramount. You will play a vital role in strengthening the Bupa brand by engaging effectively with key stakeholders such as Local Authority and Primary Care Trust commissioners.
• Adaptability: While the role is primarily full-time, the nature of care means occasional out-of-hours or evening work may be required, demonstrating the need for flexibility.
• Clinical Expertise: A strong foundation in clinical knowledge is essential, ideally supported by an LMCS, RMA, or equivalent management qualification.
• Continuous Improvement Mindset: The ability to foster an environment focused on continuous improvement is highly valued, ensuring the home consistently delivers exceptional care.
