Job description

As a Deputy Home Manager, you'll be responsible for ensuring 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/coaching colleagues to deliver a service unparalleled in its empathy for resident issues.

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. The role requires a background in person‑centred care planning within a care home. Beyond technical skills, we value a positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You'll be a great mentor who can manage time effectively, keep meaningful records, and communicate with residents and co‑workers in a considerate and kind manner.

You will value kindness above all, as it drives every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes. Every person who works here understands that our residents are people with their own stories, and by joining HC‑One you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You must recognise signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect, know what to do if concerns arise, attend safeguarding training appropriate to your role, and seek advice and report concerns, including escalating if action is not taken.
