Deputy Care Home Manager
Help Us Build Something Special from Day One
Location: Acomb, North Yorkshire
Salary: £17.46 per hour
Hours: Full Time, 40 hours per week (Supernumerary)
Contract: Permanent
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.
The Opportunity
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.
What You'll Do
- Lead and Inspire
- Support, mentor and develop our care team, fostering a culture of kindness, accountability and excellence.
- Deliver Outstanding Care
- Champion person-centred care that reflects each resident's life story, preferences, interests and aspirations.
- Support the Successful Launch of the Home
- Help establish exceptional standards, embed best practice and contribute to creating a warm, welcoming home from day one.
- Act as a Trusted Leader
- Confidently oversee the day-to-day running of the home in the Registered Manager's absence.
- Build Meaningful Relationships
- Develop positive partnerships with residents, families, healthcare professionals and external stakeholders.
- Maintain Quality and Compliance
- Support the delivery of high-quality care while ensuring compliance with CQC regulations, safeguarding requirements and company policies.
- Manage Incidents and Safeguarding
- Review, investigate and respond appropriately to accidents, incidents and concerns, ensuring all statutory reporting requirements are met.
- Promote Effective Communication
- Ensure clear handovers, open communication and collaborative working across all departments.
- Support Team and Resident Engagement
- Participate in and lead staff meetings, resident forums and initiatives that enhance life within the home.
