The Role
As Deputy Manager, you will work closely with the Registered Manager to ensure the home runs smoothly, safely and to a high standard every day.
You will support with leadership of the team, oversee shift delivery, and step into the Manager’s role when required. You will play a key part in maintaining compliance, supporting staff development and ensuring young people receive consistent, high-quality care.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will still be present on the floor, building relationships with young people and leading by example.
Challenging. Rewarding. Done properly.
