About Benedon Health Care:
Benedon Health Care is a growing, CQC-registered care provider delivering person-centred care and support to adults in their own homes and in supported living settings across Birmingham. We support people with a range of needs, including dementia, learning disabilities, mental health conditions, physical and sensory impairments, and more, always with a focus on dignity, independence and choice.
We are now looking for a confident, organised and compassionate Deputy Manager to join our management team. This is a rare opportunity to step into a genuinely hands-on leadership role, working directly alongside the Registered Manager at an important stage in our growth.
The Role:
As Deputy Manager, you will work closely with the Registered Manager to make sure our services are safe, effective and person-centred, while supporting our care team to deliver a consistently high standard of care. You will help oversee the day-to-day running of the service and deputise for the Registered Manager when required.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support the Registered Manager with the day-to-day management of the service
- Assist with staff recruitment, induction, training and ongoing development.
- Carry out staff supervisions and contribute to performance management.

- Prepare and process invoices and support accurate billing and record-keeping for the service.
- Support the preparation and review of care plans and risk assessments.
- Support the completion and review of Safe Systems of Work (SSOWs), PEEPs and other individualised care and risk-management documentation.
- Support initial and ongoing assessments of service users so that care continues to reflect individual needs, preferences and identified risks.
- Monitor the quality and consistency of care delivered, and the accuracy of care documentation and records.
- Respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns and incidents, and ensure agreed actions are implemented.
- Support compliance with CQC regulations, policies and procedures, including audits, quality monitoring and service improvement.
- Support medication governance, including reviewing medication records and escalating concerns.
- Maintain accurate and confidential care and staff records.
- Work with service users, families, healthcare professionals and external agencies, and take part in service user reviews and multidisciplinary meetings.
- Help manage complaints, concerns and compliments professionally.
- Support staff meetings and team briefings, communicating changes in care needs, procedures or service requirements.
- Deputise for the Registered Manager during periods of absence.
