This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-performing, 95%+ occupied, private-pay care home in one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after locations—building on an already outstanding reputation to shape a true flagship service.
You will hold overall responsibility for the quality of care, ensuring residents’ physical, emotional, and social needs are met with compassion and respect. Championing person‑centred care, you will promote independence, choice, and dignity for every resident.
Your leadership will be strong and steady. You will support colleagues through times of transition, maintaining clear communication, setting expectations, and fostering a culture of openness, learning, and continuous improvement. You will lead, motivate, and develop a multidisciplinary team, ensuring staff receive supervision, feedback, and opportunities to grow, while keeping care evidence‑based and responsive to residents’ needs.
You will champion ongoing improvement, listening to feedback and learning from experience to ensure systems are effective, reliable, and person‑centred. Safeguarding and residents’ wellbeing will always be central, and you will work collaboratively with staff and external partners to ensure everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered.
You’ll be joining a care organisation with a strong, long‑term commitment to the success of every home. Supported by substantial, planned investment, this approach provides the resources and stability needed to deliver high‑quality, sustainable care and nurture thriving communities. Residents, families, and staff are at the heart of everything we do, and continuous improvement is embraced across all homes.
About Murrayfield House
Murrayfield House is a high‑performing home operating at 95%+ occupancy and serving a fully private‑pay community.

The home benefits from a stable, long‑serving staff team, supported by a full‑time Deputy Manager and Clinical Lead, providing a strong and experienced leadership structure.
Both internally and externally, the home is rated ‘Good’ for quality, offering a well‑established, successful platform rather than a turnaround environment. This creates an opportunity for a manager who wants to build on strong foundations, enhance an already thriving culture, and continue driving excellence.
