Job Type: Full-time

Lead a New Standard of Luxury Care

We are looking for an exceptional Registered Manager to lead a brand-new luxury care home in Chester, providing outstanding residential care and extra care within a setting designed to feel more like a five-star hotel than a traditional care home.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced care professional to join a new luxury care service from the outset and help establish its culture, reputation and standards.

The home has been designed around an entirely different approach to care — combining boutique hospitality, exceptional facilities, outstanding food and personalised care to create an environment where residents can enjoy an exceptional quality of life.

We are looking for a manager who shares that vision.

About the Role

As Registered Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the day-to-day leadership and management of the home, ensuring the highest standards of care, service, hospitality, compliance and resident experience.

You will lead and develop a professional care team, create a positive and aspirational culture, and ensure every resident receives genuinely personalised care in a beautiful, welcoming environment.

This is a highly visible leadership position and an opportunity to make a real impact on a brand-new luxury care home in Chester.

Key Responsibilities

• Take overall responsibility for the day-to-day management of the care home.

• Lead, motivate and develop a high-performing care and support team.

• Ensure consistently excellent standards of residential care and extra care.

• Maintain full compliance with CQC regulations, legislation and best practice.

• Promote a strong culture of safeguarding, dignity, respect and person-centred care.

• Ensure residents receive a personalised and exceptional care experience.

• Work closely with families, residents and professionals to build strong relationships.

• Oversee recruitment, induction, training and ongoing development of staff.

• Monitor care quality, audits, clinical governance and service improvement.

• Work collaboratively with hospitality, food, facilities and wider operational teams.

• Help establish the home's reputation as a leading luxury care destination in Chester.

About You

We are looking for an experienced Registered Manager who understands that exceptional care is about far more than simply meeting regulatory requirements.

You will ideally have a background in luxury care, premium residential care, high-end hospitality, boutique care or another environment where exceptional customer experience and attention to detail are fundamental.

You will be a confident and inspirational leader who can combine strong operational and regulatory knowledge with genuine warmth, empathy and outstanding interpersonal skills.

Essential:

• Previous experience managing a residential care, nursing care, extra care or similar regulated care service.

• Relevant NVQ/QCF qualification in Health & Social Care, ideally at Level 4/5 or equivalent.

• Strong knowledge of CQC requirements and regulatory compliance.

• Experience leading, developing and motivating care teams.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

• A genuine commitment to delivering outstanding person-centred care.

Desirable:

• Experience within luxury care, premium residential care or boutique care.

• Experience working within a five-star hospitality or luxury service environment.

• Registered Nurse qualification (RGN/RMN) — advantageous but not essential.

• Experience launching or managing a new care service.

• Strong understanding of hospitality-led care and exceptional resident experience.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to be part of something genuinely different.

You will be joining a brand-new luxury care home in Chester, with the opportunity to shape the service from the beginning and establish the standards, culture and resident experience.

You can expect:

• £52,000 salary

• Brand-new luxury care environment

• Five-star hotel-inspired setting

• Boutique approach to residential and extra care

• Exceptional facilities

• High-quality food and hospitality

• Opportunity to shape a new service from the outset

• A service where quality, dignity, hospitality and resident experience are at the heart of everything we do

The Opportunity

If you are an experienced Registered Manager who believes care can be delivered differently — with the standards of a five-star hotel and the warmth, dignity and compassion of outstanding care — we would love to hear from you.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Registered Manager, Care Home Manager, Residential Care Manager or Extra Care Manager looking to take the next step in their career within a genuinely premium care environment.
