Home Manager

About the role This is a rare opportunity to lead a high‑performing, 95%+ occupied, private‑pay care home in one of Edinburgh’s most sought‑after locations—building on an already outstanding reputation to shape a true flagship service. You will hold overall responsibility for the quality of care, ensuring residents’ physical, emotional, and social needs are met with compassion and respect. Championing person‑centred care, you will promote independence, choice, and dignity for every resident.

Your leadership will be strong and steady. You will support colleagues through times of transition, maintaining clear communication, setting expectations, and fostering a culture of openness, learning, and continuous improvement. You will lead, motivate, and develop a multidisciplinary team, ensuring staff receive supervision, feedback, and opportunities to grow, while keeping care evidence‑based and responsive to residents’ needs.

You will champion ongoing improvement, listening to feedback and learning from experience to ensure systems are effective, reliable, and person‑centred. Safeguarding and residents’ wellbeing will always be central, and you will work collaboratively with staff and external partners to ensure everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered. About Murrayfield House Murrayfield House is a high‑performing home operating at 95%+ occupancy and serving a fully private‑pay community.

It enjoys an exceptionally positive local reputation and is deeply embedded within the wider Murrayfield community. The home benefits from a stable, long‑serving staff team, supported by a full‑time Deputy Manager and Clinical Lead, providing a strong and experienced leadership structure. Both internally and externally, the home is rated ‘Good’ for quality, offering a well‑established, successful platform rather than a turnaround environment.

This creates an opportunity for a manager who wants to build on strong foundations, enhance an already thriving culture, and continue driving excellence. The location is another key strength: a premium setting in leafy Murrayfield, within walking distance of Haymarket Station and minutes from Edinburgh city centre. Positioned firmly at the upper end of the Edinburgh market, Murrayfield House represents an attractive flagship‑style opportunity for an ambitious, values‑driven leader.

About You You are a compassionate and resilient leader who inspires trust and confidence. You lead with integrity, professionalism, and consistency, creating a positive, inclusive culture where staff feel valued, empowered, and motivated to deliver outstanding care. You are committed to developing your team, supporting professional growth through supervision, reflection, and ongoing learning.

You understand the importance of succession planning and talent development to ensure long‑term resilience and continuity of leadership. You thrive in an environment that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement, and you are passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of residents and the wider care community. Murrayfield House offers you the chance to bring that passion to a stable, respected, and high‑quality home with the potential to become a true flagship within the organisation.
