Home Manager | Lighthouse Lodge Care Home | New Brighton, Wirral CH45 0JZ

£70,000 to £75,000 per annum + 40% KPI Bonus + Private Healthcare

Lead with purpose. Inspire stability. Drive Lighthouse Lodge from good to outstanding.

Lighthouse Lodge is an established 80-bed residential and residential dementia home set across three floors in the heart of New Brighton. With 74 residents, a loyal team, zero agency usage, and a strong community reputation, this is a service with solid foundations and real momentum.

Currently rated Requires Improvement by the CQC, the home has historic breaches under Regulation 17 (Good Governance) and Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment). While the service is stable and far from turnaround territory, the next inspection will be pivotal. This role is about consistent compliance, confident leadership, and raising standards from good to exceptional.

With the current Manager relocating to be closer to home after six years in post, this is a rare opportunity to step into a well-established service ready for its next chapter.

The Opportunity

This is a leadership role for someone who values both people and performance.

Over the next 12-24 months, your focus will be clear:

Continuous monitoring and embedding of compliance improvements ahead of reinspection
Strengthening governance and quality assurance frameworks
Driving occupancy while maintaining strong fee integrity (current average weekly fee £1,230)
Maintaining a proud zero-agency workforce
Developing and mentoring an ambitious Deputy and established senior team
Building on strong relationships with commissioners and the local community

Lighthouse Lodge is resident-focused at its core. The team are experienced, committed, and keen to grow. They need a visible, values-led leader who will guide them with clarity and consistency.

What You'll Bring

You will be an experienced Home Manager (minimum two years desirable) with:

A strong CQC track record and experience managing compliance action plans
Proven ability to lead a financially successful care home
Commercial awareness around occupancy, budgets, and fee management
Experience managing residential and/or dementia services of similar size
Excellent stakeholder management with commissioners and regulators
A mentoring mindset, developing future leaders beneath you
You do not need a Nurse PIN to register for this role.

Most importantly, you will be kind, approachable, resilient under pressure, and confident enough to ask for support when needed. You'll lead by example, balancing accountability with compassion.

Your Impact

As Home Manager at Lighthouse Lodge, you will set the tone for the entire service.

You'll create stability during leadership transition, reassuring staff and families while strengthening governance systems. Through your guidance, compliance will become embedded rather than reactive. The team will feel supported, developed, and proud of the standards they deliver every day.
Your commercial acumen will protect and grow occupancy, ensuring the home remains financially strong while never compromising on care. Your relationships with commissioners and regulators will reinforce Lighthouse Lodge's reputation as a trusted local provider.
With your leadership, Lighthouse Lodge won't simply maintain standards it will push confidently toward excellence.

Package & Reward

£70,000 to £75,000 per annum
40% annual KPI-based bonus
Private Healthcare
Pension Scheme
5.6 weeks annual leave
