Current Roles

General Manager
Salary: To £75,000 + car allowance

Our client provides specialist care for vulnerable people who present with challenging behaviours associated with complex neurodegenerative and mental health needs.

Residents who live in their homes primarily have a neurological degenerative condition such as Dementia with an underlying mental health condition which makes them inappropriate candidates for dementia care homes or residential care homes for the elderly.

Their specialist nursing homes look after residents from all over the country and their homes are purpose designed to meet complex care needs and enhance quality of life. They are one of very few providers of this type of specialist care and are proud to be expanding their services to meet growing needs.

Their approach and attitude towards specialist care have received industry recognition, but their residents always remain at the core of the service, underpinning everything they do.

Situated a short distance from Portsmouth, their largest facility is home to c. 100 residents across a number of specialised units; each designed to support varying complex care and neurological needs as well as provide a comfortable, safe home.
