About the Role
As Home Manager, you’ll lead by example by inspiring, supporting, and empowering your team to deliver the very best in person-centred care.
It’s an opportunity to build on strong foundations, enhance quality, and drive continuous improvement in a home that’s already performing well. You’ll have autonomy in how you run your service, backed by a supportive Regional Director and the wider leadership team.

Key Responsibilities
You’ll provide visible, compassionate leadership to your team, creating a culture where everyone feels valued and motivated to deliver outstanding care. Maintaining compliance with CI and company standards will be second nature to you, as will ensuring the home continues to perform strongly in occupancy and financial management. You’ll champion resident wellbeing, ensuring that care is not just safe and effective, but also warm, engaging, and truly person-centred.
In addition, you’ll recruit and develop talented colleagues, nurture teamwork, and build strong relationships with residents, their families, and local partners. You’ll take pride in representing the home positively within the community and ensuring that Craigieknowes continues to be a place people are proud to live and work in.

What You’ll Bring
You’ll be an experienced Home Manager, ideally with at least a few years of proven success in leading a similar nursing, residential or dementia care setting. You’ll have a strong track record of achieving positive CI outcomes, supported by confident leadership skills and a genuine passion for quality improvement.
Commercially astute, you’ll understand how to manage budgets, occupancy, and resources effectively, while never losing sight of what matters most - the wellbeing of residents and the satisfaction of your team.
Whether you’re a nurse or a non-clinical leader, you’ll bring drive, empathy, and professionalism, with the ability to balance operational excellence and compassionate care.

Alor Healthcare
We combine family values with professional ambition. You’ll be part of a supportive network that believes in empowering managers to run their homes with independence, while providing the structure, guidance, and resources you need to succeed.
