Job Description

Home Manager

Home Manager Greater Manchester £55,000 - £65,000 + Benefits

If you're a Home Manager who takes pride in running a good home, building strong teams and making a real difference to people's lives, this could be exactly the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Delphi Care Solutions is working with an established care provider to find an experienced Home Manager for a residential care home in the Stockport area.

The home already has a committed team in place and a positive foundation to build from. What they're looking for now is a strong leader who can bring people together, maintain high standards and continue moving the service forward.

This isn't a role where you'll be constantly looking over your shoulder or waiting for permission to make decisions. You'll be trusted to lead the home, supported by directors who understand care and genuinely value the people running their services day to day.

The Opportunity

This is a chance to take ownership of a well-established service and put your own stamp on it.

We're looking for someone who leads from the front, supports their team, builds positive relationships with families and professionals, and creates an environment where residents receive the care and dignity they deserve.

You'll have the freedom to focus on what matters most: quality care, happy residents and a strong, stable team.

Responsibilities

• Overall management of the home and daily operations
• Ensuring excellent standards of care across the service
• Maintaining CQC compliance and driving continuous improvement
• Leading, motivating and developing the staff team
• Managing recruitment, retention and workforce planning
• Building strong relationships with residents, relatives and external professionals
• Managing budgets and resources effectively
• Supporting occupancy and the long-term success of the service
• Creating a positive culture where people feel valued and supported

About You

You'll already have experience managing a care service and understand what good looks like.

You'll be confident making decisions, supporting people through challenges and keeping standards high, even in a fast-paced environment.

Essential Requirements

• Previous experience as a Home Manager or Registered Manager within adult social care
• Strong knowledge of CQC regulations and quality standards
• Experience managing teams, compliance and operational performance
• Understanding of budgets, staffing and occupancy management
• NVQ Level 5 in Leadership for Health & Social Care, or equivalent
• Full UK Driving Licence

Personal Qualities

• Visible and approachable leadership style
• Positive, professional and supportive
• Strong communicator who can build trust quickly
• Resilient and solutions focused
• Organised and able to prioritise effectively
• Passionate about delivering excellent outcomes for residents and staff

What's On Offer?

• £55,000 - £65,000 salary depending on experience
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Company pension scheme
• Ongoing training and development
• Career progression opportunities within a growing organisation
• Supportive senior leadership team
• The chance to make a genuine impact and shape the future of the service
