We’re looking for an experienced Registered Manager for a Nursing home in Derby. This role is ideal for a manager who values quality, builds strong teams, and is motivated to continuously improve services for residents and their families.

This is a lovely independent home, that’s been family-run for a number of years. Whilst the last year has been challenging for them, the owner is committed to ensuring the service has everything it needs to flourish and the recruitment of a stable, quality-focused Manager is the next step.

The Registered Manager is responsible for the overall leadership, management, and performance of the care home, ensuring residents receive high-quality, person-centred care in a safe and well-run environment.

What’s on Offer

• Salary £50,000 – £60,000, depending on experience.
• Supportive leadership with autonomy in your role
• A stable home with a caring, family-focused ethos
• Opportunity to lead a service committed to high standards and improvement.

The Role

• Provide strong, visible leadership across the home.
• Ensure care meets CQC regulations and high-quality standards.
• Promote a positive, caring, and inclusive culture.
• Oversee safeguarding, staffing, safety, and governance.
• Drive continuous improvement through audits, feedback, and learning.
• Build strong relationships with families, professionals, and regulators.

About You

• You’ll need experience as a Registered Manager in a nursing or care home.
• A nursing qualification isn’t essential- there’ll be a clinical lead within the service – but you will need to be qualified to QCF 5 in Social Care Leadership and Management or have a nursing qualification if not.
• Strong knowledge of CQC requirements and best practice
• Confident, approachable leader with excellent communication skills
• Passionate about dignity, respect, and person-centred care
