Home Manager - No Cloaks.

No Drama.

Just Real Leadership.

With The Traitors back on screens, everyone's talking about trust, teamwork, and reading the room — the same skills that separate good leaders from great ones in social care.

This beautiful, characterful nursing home near Colchester is looking for an experienced Home Manager who can unite a strong team, steady the ship, and lead with authenticity.

The service already has a solid foundation — a capable Deputy, an experienced Administrator, and a loyal care team.

What's needed now is a confident, proven leader who's managed a nursing home before and knows how to build a positive, motivated culture from the inside out.

This role calls for someone who can bring structure without rigidity, empathy without hesitation, and direction without ego.

The home is stable and rated Good by the CQC — now it's time to take it from good to exceptional.
