Registered Manager – Nursing Home (Southampton)

High-Accountability Leadership Role | Transform a Home. Build a Legacy.

Are you the kind of leader who doesn't shy away from responsibility? Do you believe that culture starts at the top—and that great care begins with great leadership?

We’re looking for a Registered Manager for a nursing home in Southampton. But let’s be clear—this isn’t a role for someone looking to maintain the status quo. This is for a driven, operationally-sharp, people-first leader ready to take full ownership of a service and shape it into a standard-setter for excellence.

The Opportunity

This is your chance to lead a well-established nursing home and take it to the next level. You'll have full autonomy to lead the team, elevate the standards, and create a thriving, warm, and high-performing environment for both residents and staff.

We’re in growth mode as an organization—and this role is a cornerstone in that momentum. You’ll be trusted, supported, and expected to deliver—no micromanagement, no red tape. Just real leadership, real impact, and real accountability.

What You’ll Be Doing

Taking full operational and compliance responsibility for the home
Building and leading a cohesive, empowered team focused on quality, kindness, and consistency
Driving improvements in care outcomes, resident experience, and team performance
Embedding a strong culture of ownership, clarity, and continuous improvement
Maintaining high standards in safeguarding, CQC compliance, and clinical excellence
Making bold, smart decisions with confidence—and owning the results

What We’re Looking For

A Registered Manager with experience in a nursing or elderly care setting
Experience as a nurse with active NMC PIN
A decisive, energetic leader who inspires people to follow their lead
Strong understanding of CQC standards and how to exceed them
Someone who balances compassion with performance—who leads with both heart and backbone
A problem-solver. A builder. A culture-shaper.

This isn’t just about managing a home. This is about owning it—leading it like it’s yours, because it will be.

If you’re tired of working in environments where mediocrity is tolerated, where leadership is unclear, and where your voice gets lost in the noise—this is your chance to lead boldly, clearly, and effectively.

Ready to lead from the front? We’re ready to back you.
