Be Part of a Brand-New Beginning

This is not just another Deputy Manager role.

At Acomb Manor, part of St Mary's Care Group, we're preparing to open the doors of our beautiful new luxury care home and welcome our very first residents. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the culture, standards, and resident experience from the very beginning.

We're looking for a passionate and driven Deputy Care Home Manager who shares our belief that exceptional care goes beyond meeting needs. It's about creating moments of joy, building meaningful relationships, celebrating individuality, and helping people live life to the fullest.

If you're an experienced leader who leads with kindness, inspires those around you, and wants to make a lasting difference, we'd love to hear from you.

As Deputy Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in the successful launch and ongoing leadership of our new home.

Working alongside the Registered Manager, you'll help create a positive, supportive environment where residents receive outstanding person-centred care and colleagues feel valued, motivated, and empowered.

This is far more than a compliance-focused management role. We're looking for someone who can bring energy, innovation, and compassion to everything they do, helping transform a new building into a thriving community and a true home.

Support, mentor and develop our care team, fostering a culture of kindness, accountability and excellence.

Champion person-centred care that reflects each resident's life story, preferences, interests and aspirations.

Help establish exceptional standards, embed best practice and contribute to creating a warm, welcoming home from day one.

Confidently oversee the day-to-day running of the home in the Registered Manager's absence.

Develop positive partnerships with residents, families, healthcare professionals and external stakeholders.

Support the delivery of high-quality care while ensuring compliance with CQC regulations, safeguarding requirements and company policies.

Review, investigate and respond appropriately to accidents, incidents and concerns, ensuring all statutory reporting requirements are met.

Ensure clear handovers, open communication and collaborative working across all departments.

Participate in and lead staff meetings, resident forums and initiatives that enhance life within the home.

You will need to be flexible in your approach to meet the needs of the business. Occasionally you may be required to cover weekends or nights.

You'll be an experienced care professional who combines strong leadership skills with genuine compassion.

• Experience in a senior or supervisory role within a residential, nursing or dementia care setting.

• A strong understanding of person-centred care and current care regulations.

• Experience in Digital Care Plans

• Medication Management.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

• The confidence to lead teams, make decisions and support others to succeed.

• A proactive approach to problem solving and continuous improvement.

• An NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care as a minimum (Level 5 desirable or willingness to work towards).

• A genuine passion for enriching the lives of older people.

Play a key role in establishing a brand-new luxury care home and creating a culture you can be proud of.

Your ideas, experience and leadership will directly influence the resident and colleague experience.

Benefit from ongoing learning, professional development and future progression opportunities.

• Work alongside leaders who value collaboration, recognise achievement and genuinely care about their people.

• Enjoy Great Benefits

• Competitive salary

• Ongoing training and development

• Support with further qualifications

• Employee recognition initiatives

• A welcoming and supportive working environment
