About the Role
We are seeking a strong, clinically led Registered Manager to lead Maesbrook, a well-established nursing home specialising in complex care, palliative care, and end-of-life support.
This is not a passive management role.
You will take full responsibility for the clinical, operational, and cultural performance of the service, ensuring high standards of care, strong governance, and a disciplined, accountable team.
What We’re Looking For
You must have:
- Proven experience as a Registered Manager within a nursing home setting
- A strong clinical background (RGN or RMN preferred)
- Experience working within a home rated Good or above by CQC
- Strong knowledge of CQC regulations and compliance frameworks
- Proven ability to lead, motivate, and hold teams accountable
- A track record of improving standards and driving measurable change
Key ResponsibilitiesClinical & Quality
- Ensure residents receive safe, effective, person-centred care
- Maintain high standards across care planning, medication, and risk management
- Lead clinical governance, audits, and continuous improvement
Operational Leadership
- Take full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the home
- Ensure compliance with all CQC regulations
- Manage staffing, rotas, and skill mix to maintain safe delivery
Team Leadership
- Lead, develop, and hold accountable a multidisciplinary team
- Drive a culture of high standards, ownership, and consistency

- Represent and promote the service within the local healthcare network
Commercial & Governance
- Maintain occupancy, reputation, and service sustainability
- Oversee budgets, resources, and operational efficiency
- Ensure the home remains compliant, stable, and well-led
What Makes This Role Different
This is an owner-led service with active, hands-on oversight.
You will not be left unsupported — but you will be expected to perform.
We are building a high-standard service with:
- Strong governance
- Modern digital systems (PCS, eMAR, training platforms)
- Clear expectations and accountability
This is an opportunity to lead real improvement, not just maintain the status quo.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
- Performance-related incentives
- Direct support from experienced owners
- Opportunity to lead and shape a service
- Long-term career progression within a growing group
Important
This role requires:
- Strong clinical credibility
- High standards
- The ability to lead under pressure
If you are looking for a quiet, maintenance-style role, this position will not be suitable.
