Dementia Care Manager Salaries
Salaries in dementia care management vary significantly depending on the level of the role and the type of provider. Across the broader market, care home manager salaries average around £45,000–£60,000, but the roles Stephen James Consulting recruits for sit above this. Typically, senior management positions within private care providers where salaries reflect the scale and complexity of the service.

- Deputy Manager (Dementia Care) - £35,000–£65,000
- Home Manager (Residential Dementia) - £40,000–£95,000

- Regional or Area Manager (multi-site) - £65,000–£95,000
The factors that affect where a role sits within these ranges include bed count and occupancy, clinical complexity, CQC rating, provider size and whether a nursing qualification is required.
