Your Mission
As Home Manager, you will take responsibility for re‑establishing leadership presence and embedding best practice across a home where around 90% of residents are living with advanced dementia. You will lead from the front, set the tone, role‑model excellence, and ensure that poor practice is addressed quickly and constructively. Through consistency, expertise, and emotional intelligence, you will rebuild trust, stability and pride within the team.
You will also play a key role in rebuilding and strengthening relationships with external professionals and MDT partners. Through visible leadership, professional credibility and consistent follow‑through, you will re‑establish Mayflower as a trusted and collaborative care partner. This will include working closely with GPs, community health teams, mental health services and local authorities to ensure joined‑up care, shared confidence and improved outcomes for residents.
About You
You are an experienced, hands‑on Home Manager with a strong background in complex dementia care. You are calm under pressure, clear in your expectations, and comfortable holding people to account while remaining fair, compassionate and supportive. Whether nurse‑qualified or non‑nurse, you bring credible leadership experience, a deep understanding of advanced dementia needs and a track record of improving services through presence, consistency and cultural reset.
You believe that standards improve when leadership is visible, when staff feel supported rather than blamed and when everyone understands what “good” looks like and how to achieve it together.
Your Leadership in Action
This is a chance to make a real, tangible difference every day. From spotting bad practice to celebrating small victories, you will guide Mayflower’s team to deliver meaningful, person‑centred dementia care. Your visibility, energy and presence will reshape the home’s culture, ensuring both residents and staff flourish.
