Are you an experienced Deputy Manager who is ready to take the next step towards becoming a Registered Manager?
We are recruiting two Senior Deputy Managers to jointly lead Doneraile Residential Care Home while completing a structured Registered Manager development programme.
This is a unique opportunity to learn how to manage a residential care service alongside another aspiring manager, with regular guidance and support from an experienced Area Manager.

Your development pathway
Both Senior Deputy Managers will work together to support the day-to-day management of Doneraile, including staffing, compliance, quality assurance, resident care and the overall operation of the home.

- One Senior Deputy Manager will have the opportunity to progress into the Registered Manager position at Doneraile.
