Up to £80,000 per annum (DOE) + Bonus + Private Medical + Pension
120-bed Complex Care Service | New Commissioning Opportunity

Alderbrook Care Home is a newly refurbished, 120-bed complex care service in Moortown, Leeds, with six units across the home and the ground floor now ready to welcome its first residents, Alderbrook provides general nursing, complex mental health nursing, specialist dementia care, and a spinal injury unit. This is a rare opportunity to lead a large, multi-faceted service from the ground up.

About the Role:
As Commissioning Home Manager, you will take full operational and strategic responsibility for Alderbrook, leading the home as it opens fully to residents. Your mission will be to deliver exceptional care standards, achieve a Good rating at the first CQC inspection, and drive occupancy growth across the service. You will lead and develop teams across all units, embed robust systems for quality and compliance, and work closely with the Regional Director and CRM to convert enquiries into admissions.
This role requires a leader who is hands-on, approachable, and commercially astute, able to balance operational excellence with business performance. You will be instrumental in building Alderbrook’s reputation locally and developing strong relationships with families, regulators, and community stakeholders.

About You:
The ideal candidate will have at least three years’ experience as a Home Manager, ideally in complex care, mental health, or specialist dementia services, with a proven track record in multi-site management. Prior commissioning experience is highly desirable, though not essential if you can demonstrate how you would approach opening and growing a large, complex service.
You will have strong commercial acumen, including experience driving occupancy, managing budgets, and delivering KPIs. Compliance and quality are non-negotiable, and you will have a strong history of CQC success. RMN is preferred given the mental health referrals, though RGN or RNLD with the right experience and ethos will be considered. A Level 5 Leadership & Management qualification is also required.
Your leadership style will be visible, motivating, and inclusive. You will lead by example, inspire teams, and drive fast, sustainable growth while maintaining the highest standards of care.

Why Alderbrook:

• Lead a newly refurbished 120-bed complex care service with huge growth potential.
• Work closely with a supportive, hands-on Regional Director and dedicated CRM.
• Join a dynamic, innovative senior leadership team with a shared ambition for excellence.
• Shape a home that will set new standards in complex care, mental health nursing, and specialist dementia.
