Job description

Overview

As a Deputy Home Manager, you’ll be ensuring the level of clinical care goes beyond professional standards and regulatory requirements. You will provide specialist nursing support and advice, take responsibility for resident care in the Home Manager’s absence, and supervise/coaches colleagues to deliver compassionate, high-quality service.

About You

HC-One is looking for a Deputy Home Manager with a valid NMC Pin, knowledge of National Standards and the NMC code of practice, and a background in person-centred care planning within a care home. You’ll bring brilliant, positive energy, strong mentoring skills, effective time management, and the ability to keep meaningful records. When communicating with residents or colleagues, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.

You’ll value kindness above all. This drives our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes, where every team member treats residents as people with their own stories. By joining HC-One, you’ll have an opportunity to give something back to those people.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You should recognise signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect and know how to respond. All colleagues are expected to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and to undertake additional training as needed, including seeking appropriate advice and escalating concerns if action is not taken.
