About the Opportunity
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to take full operational and commercial responsibility for Lakelands Lodge, a purpose-built, 80-bed residential and nursing care home located in the historic town of Fleetwood. Overlooking a picturesque boating lake and the Irish Sea, Lakelands Lodge provides a beautiful setting for both residents and staff.

Lakelands Lodge currently holds a ‘Good’ CQC rating, but in our professional view, there are areas that require immediate and decisive clinical oversight to sustain and improve this grading. This is where you come in.

We’re seeking a Nurse-qualified, governance-led leader with a proven track record of turning around underperforming care homes. You’ll bring the insight, energy, and people skills needed to drive continuous improvement, elevate care standards, and embed a culture of safety, compassion, and high performance.

•  A values-led leadership style, with emotional intelligence and the ability to build trust and motivate teams.

Current Performance Snapshot

• Agency Usage: Low reliance
• CQC Rating: Good (requiring stronger clinical leadership to maintain and improve)
