Rare Opportunity - Specialist Commissioning Manager - North West England (Lancashire)
Brand New Build | Multi-Year Journey | Ground-Up Role | £12.5M+ Development
Have you successfully commissioned multiple care homes and want to be part of something that isn't just another opening?
A brand new, luxury care home in Lancashire is nearing completion - a flagship, 68-bed development set across four elegant wings with standout features including private balconies, terraces, a bar, a library, and best-in-class assisted living technology.
This is not just a job - it's the first chapter in a five-year care journey, and we're searching for an exceptional Specialist Commissioning Manager to lead the charge.
This is the first care home in a carefully phased development plan - with two further high-end homes lined up over the next three years.
In this role, you won't be worrying about bricks, mortar, or fittings - the build will be ready for you.
Instead, your focus will be on:
Marketing the home with flair and strategic insight (targeting upper to middle private fee payers)
Building occupancy sensibly and sustainably (3-4 new residents/month, aiming for full occupancy by year 3)
Recruiting, inducting, and training the first class team to match the care ethos
Creating flexible staffing models to support family-friendly working hours (no rigid 12-hour shifts)
Leading community engagement initiatives (you'll have a school next door - the opportunities are endless)
Being hands-on, highly self-sufficient, and capable of working autonomously with support from a highly credible Head of Care
This is about building a home that people will be proud to work in, live in, and talk about.
We're looking for a true specialist - someone who has commissioned multiple care homes successfully (not just once), ideally in a high-end, independent or small portfolio setting, where you've had to wear many hats and build from the ground up.
You'll understand:
National fill rate benchmarks and how to pace growth intelligently
How to create a lean but high-functioning staffing structure that evolves with occupancy
How to attract self-funding residents and position a service to appeal to the premium market
How to inspire, train, and lead people who believe in exceptional care
The home will feature:
Private en-suite wet rooms in every bedroom
Separate dining & lounge spaces in every wing
Specialist dementia care (non-complex) on the first floor
Residential care on the ground floor
Advanced systems including Nobi Assisted Tech, Nourish, and CoolCare
A £12.5 million investment in quality, environment, and innovation
This is your chance to become the face of something truly special, with the rare opportunity to do it again in year 2 and year 3 with new openings as part of a long-term vision.
If you've commissioned care homes at this level before - and want to do it again, your way - we'd love to hear from you.
Apply confidentially today or get in touch to discuss your experience.
Ideal start date: Flexible, in line with completion (targeting Summer 2025).
Let's build something that matters.
And let's do it right. ....Read more...
