Dementia Lead
£32,000 to £37,000 per year (DOE)| 38.5 hours | 3 on-floor practice days + 2 supernumerary days
As Christmas approaches, lots of people start winding down… But this could be the perfect moment for you to quietly take a step forward.
Fewer applicants.
Faster decisions.
A chance to walk into January with a role that finally reflects your passion for dementia care.
A genuine “New Year, New Me” moment, but one that actually means something.
If you love dementia care, if you thrive on creativity, if you want your ideas to matter, this role may fit you more snugly than an elf in their Christmas tights.
Picture yourself in a dedicated dementia unit within a large, well-established nursing and dementia home.
Not as a manager.
Not as an activities coordinator.
But as the person who elevates dementia practice on the floor and inspires others to follow your lead.
Three days a week, you're hands-on with the staff, not micromanaging, but modelling meaningful, person-led interactions:
Turning wandering into purpose
Using knitting, baking, gardening or simple shared tasks as engagement
Redirecting task-orientated routines into moments of connection
Helping people feel safe, valued, occupied and understood
Two days a week, you step back from the floor and become the creative thinker:
Planning environmental changes
Developing Montessori-inspired ideas
Shaping routines that reduce distress
Reviewing what's working and adjusting it
Advising the leadership team on resources, equipment or set-ups that could transform the space
Coaching staff through new ways of working
You become the person who helps turn a standard dementia unit into one that genuinely feels different, calmer, more purposeful, more human.
This could be your role if you:
See the individual long before you see the dementia
Enjoy discovering who residents were, their jobs, hobbies, loves, mischiefs and using that to shape their days
Understand that people may “live” in different decades depending on how they feel that morning
Love explaining, teaching and showing others what good dementia care looks like
Get excited about turning a spare room into a gardening space or a sensory nook
Believe in Montessori principles, psychosocial approaches and non-institutional care
Want to influence culture, not just complete tasks
Prefer being hands-on, visible, present, and part of everyday life
This role gives you the space to create, shape, lead, and inspire without getting lost in paperwork or management meetings.
It's about purpose, not protocol. About people, not processes. About dementia care that feels alive, not institutional.
Background desired:
Strong dementia experience (care homes, community, day services, early-onset support, rapid response, etc.)
NVQ Level 3 or above preferred
You do not need to be a nurse, though RMNs with the right outlook are very welcome
Experience supporting individuals with distress or behaviours that challenge
Someone already able to work in the UK long-term (this role is not suited to sponsorship)
If you can already feel yourself imagining the space differently… If you're someone who never stops asking, “What would make this person feel valued today?” Then this could be the role where your ideas finally come to life.

Quality and Compliance Manager - East Midlands, with regional travel
In a year when the UK has been dissecting standards across every public-facing institution, from government ethics inquiries to national infrastructure performance, there's a renewed spotlight on what genuine accountability looks like.
This role belongs to someone who doesn't wait for a regulator, a headline, or a whistle-blower to reveal gaps.
You find them early.
You fix them properly.
And you treat quality not as a reaction to scrutiny, but as a daily act of integrity.
You already operate at a senior level in health or social care quality.
You've stood in rooms where judgement is passed, where evidence matters, and where the difference between “almost compliant” and “truly safe” is a line you never blur.
Your experience across multiple services means you understand the complexity of varied cultures, risk profiles and leadership styles.
You know when to mentor, when to challenge, and when to insist—politely but immovably.
And because you've invested years, not months, in your past roles, your CV shows something this organisation values deeply: commitment.
If your CV reads like a tasting menu of short stays, this won't be your home.
This position demands someone whose impact has been proven over time, not tested in passing.
This is a newly created position within a growing care group.
Quietly successful, multi-award winning, and expanding with intention rather than haste.
The senior team is stable, trusted, and unusually low-turnover by sector standards.
This isn't a business that churns people; it grows them.
You'll be the person who provides the organisation's clearest view of its own quality: Not by sitting above the homes, but by being present around them—digitally, physically, and culturally.
You'll work with managers who want support, not avoidance.
With operations leaders who act when you speak, not when you remind.
And with an executive team that understands the value of an experienced quality professional who can tell them what they must know, not what they want to hear.
You'll shape the systems, the thinking, the culture.
You'll influence outcomes long before inspections arrive. And when needed, you'll step into the registered space with confidence, because you're already operating at that level.
The remuneration recognises the seniority, typically falling in the mid-£50k range, with flexibility for an exceptional career history.
This role is intentionally selective. If the statements below describe you, your experience will be taken seriously:
Minimum five years of quality or compliance in social or health care.
At least one year in a leadership or managerial capacity.
Clear experience working across multiple services or sites.
A history of long, stable tenures, not rapid moves.
Strong grounding in CQC frameworks, regulatory engagement and improvement journeys.
Confident communicator with the authority to influence and the humility to listen.
Based in or near the East Midlands, with the willingness to travel regionally.
If that's you, then this is a role that will recognise the depth of what you've already achieved and the even greater impact you're capable of making.
If it isn't—if your experience isn't rooted in this world, or your tenure history is fragmented—then it's unlikely to move forward here.
Apply in confidence with a CV (even if it is not up to date) or call Tim, the Principal Consultant working closely with this employer.
