Job description

As a Deputy Home Manager, you’ll be ensuring that the level of clinical care we offer goes beyond just professional standards and statutory, regulatory, and legal requirements. This means providing specialist nursing support and advice, taking responsibility for resident care in the Home Manager’s absence, and supervising/co‑aching colleagues to provide a service that’s unparalleled in its empathy for resident issues.

Main duties of the job

HC‑One is looking for a Deputy Home Manager with a valid NMC PIN, knowledge of National Standards, and the NMC code of practice. You should have a background in person‑centred care planning within a care home, be a great mentor, manage time effectively, keep meaningful records, and be considerate and kind when communicating with residents or co‑workers. Your positive energy and ability to get along with people are essential.

About us

At HC‑One, kindness is more than a word. We believe caring for people means caring about what matters most to them, and we support them to lead the best possible life. Our diverse and inclusive workforce values every individual and fosters a workplace where everyone feels valued and can be themselves. We champion inclusivity and provide extensive career pathways, CPD and postgraduate programmes.

Job responsibilities

• Supervise, coach, and mentor colleagues to deliver empathy‑driven service.
• Maintain accurate and meaningful records.
• Communicate with residents, families, and colleagues in a considerate and kind manner.

About You

You’ll value kindness above all, recognising signs of abuse, harm or neglect, and be able to report concerns appropriately. You will attend safeguarding training and be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken. Your background in person‑centred care planning and positive leadership qualities (curiosity, compassion, creativity, courage, dependability) are essential.

Person Specification

• Qualifications: Valid NMC PIN.
• Experience: Experience in a care home with person‑centred care planning.
• Additional criteria: Positive mentor and leadership skills, effective time‑management and record‑keeping, aptitude for safeguarding and compassion for residents.
