* Motivating the Team: With your positive leadership, you’ll delegate responsibilities, promote teamwork, and encourage staff to always strive for excellence in everything they do.

What We’re Looking For:

* Leadership Experience: You’ll need previous management experience, ideally in the care sector, so you can hit the ground running and lead with confidence.

* Compassionate & Caring Nature: We want someone who truly cares about the residents and leads with kindness, empathy, and understanding.
