Registered Home Manager – Nursing Home

Hillside Lodge Care Home | Berwick-upon-Tweed
£60,000 + Up to 40% Bonus (OTE £84,000) + Private Medical Insurance

Why this role is different

Hillside Lodge offers something many care homes strive for but rarely achieve - stability. With a loyal team, strong nurse retention, and zero agency usage, the foundations are already firmly in place. This role is about building on that stability, strengthening systems, and leading the home into its next phase of performance and growth.

You will be supported by an experienced regional leadership team who understand the realities of running a care home and provide guidance where needed but also trust their Home Managers to lead their homes with autonomy, professionalism, and integrity.

About the Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Registered Home Manager to lead Hillside Lodge Care Home, a welcoming 50-bed nursing home located in the beautiful coastal town of Berwick-upon-Tweed.

The current Home Manager is stepping down for family reasons, creating an opportunity for a confident and values-driven leader to guide the home forward.

Hillside Lodge already benefits from a committed team and a strong local reputation. The next stage is focused on embedding operational processes, strengthening governance, and driving sustainable occupancy growth, while continuing to deliver the high-quality care residents and families expect.

This is an excellent opportunity for a leader who enjoys developing teams, maintaining high standards, and running a successful home both clinically and commercially.

Salary & Benefits

• Salary up to £60,000 per annum
• Annual performance bonus up to 40% (OTE £84,000)
• Private Medical Insurance
• Pension
• 5.6 weeks annual leave

The Role

As Registered Home Manager, you will take full responsibility for the leadership, quality, and performance of the home. Your focus will be on maintaining excellent care standards, strengthening governance, supporting and developing a committed team, and ensuring residents receive safe, compassionate, person-centred care. Working closely with families, professionals, and your regional leadership team, you will build on the home’s strong foundations while driving occupancy and ensuring the service operates successfully both clinically and commercially.

You will have experience operating at Home Manager level in a care home environment, with a strong track record of maintaining positive CQC compliance outcomes.
