Residential Care Deputy Manager

Are you an experienced care professional ready to take the next step into a leadership role?

We're looking to strengthen our management team with an additional Deputy Manager to support the successful running of our Long Term Living service in Hereford, providing exceptional support to 7 young adults with acquired brain injuries, physical disabilities and learning disabilities.

Working closely our highly experienced current Deputy Manager and Registered Manager, you'll play a key role in leading a dedicated team, maintaining outstanding care standards and helping to drive continuous improvement across our residential and supported living service. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to make a genuine difference while developing their management career.

The Role

As Deputy Manager, you'll lead by example, creating a positive, person-centred environment where residents can thrive, achieve greater independence and actively participate in their local community.

You'll take responsibility for supporting the day-to-day operation of the home, ensuring high-quality care delivery, effective staffing, regulatory compliance and positive outcomes for residents. You'll also support, coach and develop team members, helping them deliver the highest standards of care and support.

When the Registered Manager is absent, you'll confidently step into the management role, ensuring the service continues to run safely, effectively and in line with CQC requirements.
