Our team are dedicated to providing a safe, supportive environment where the people we care for can live their life to the full.

### Responsibilities

Are you passionate about delivering outstanding care and inspiring others? We’re looking for a compassionate Deputy Home Manager to support the Home Manager in leading our dedicated team.

What You’ll Be Doing:

- Supporting the Home Manager to make sure our home runs smoothly and always meets regulatory standards (CQC/RQIA).
- Leading, guiding, and inspiring the senior care team to provide outstanding, person-centred support.
- Building strong relationships with residents, families, colleagues, and external professionals.
- Holding regular staff meetings, keeping communication open and positive.
- Helping new staff settle in with thorough inductions, ongoing training, and plenty of encouragement.
- Overseeing risk assessments and safety checks to make sure our home is safe and compliant.
- Playing a key role in quality checks and audits, always looking for ways we can improve.
- Working alongside regional managers to develop and introduce new ideas and services.
- Ensuring our staff feel valued, supported, and motivated to do their very best.

- You’re organised, proactive, and confident in managing the practical side of care (risk assessments, audits, compliance).
