Why Connaught?

Because true clinical leadership isn't about ego--it's about presence. It's about knowing your stuff, holding the line, and helping everyone else rise to the standard.

At Connaught, our homes are clinically sound, beautifully run, and genuinely person-centred--and that only works when we have the right leaders in place. You'll work in an elegant, supportive setting with time to lead properly, not firefight endlessly.

We'll support you with professional development, operational clarity, and a team that shares your values. You'll be empowered to help shape a home where everyone--residents, families, and staff--
