-     Supporting recruitment and retention strategies

-     Liaising with CQC and local authorities

 

What's In It For You; as a Nursing Home Manager for this well established group: 

 

-      No budget management responsibility-but significant investment into refurbishment and development

-      5.6 weeks of holiday

-      Fully funded training and development

-      Career progression within a rapidly expanding care group

-     ⏱ Ability to accrue lieu days

-      Shared on-call duties with a supportive deputy manager
