Be Part of the Team at Slemish Nursing Home

Located on the outskirts of Ballymena and just a short walk from local churches and shops, Slemish Nursing Home has been providing trusted care to the community for over 35 years.

Our dedicated team is proud to offer high-quality Nursing Care, with specialist support in Palliative Care, End of Life Care, and Physical Disability Care — services that are highly respected and valued within the local community.

With the completion of our brand-new extension, Slemish Nursing Home will soon accommodate up to 63 residents, providing even more opportunities to deliver exceptional, person-centred care.

We operate with an ‘Open House’ policy, welcoming families and friends at any time, helping to create a genuine sense of home and belonging for all who walk through our doors.

The Role

The Home Manager is the heart and soul of our Homes, embodying leadership, compassion and dedication to the wellbeing of residents and team members alike. The Home Manager plays a pivotal role in creating a nurturing and supportive environment where residents feel safe, valued and respected and where staff are empowered to deliver high quality care with professionalism and clinical excellence.

Home Managers oversee every aspect of the Home operation, from ensuring regulatory compliance and financial sustainability to fostering a culture of high care standards and continuous improvement. The Home Manager leads by example, inspiring their team to uphold the highest standards of care while also providing support and guidance.
