DEPUTY MANAGER | RESIDENTIAL & DEMENTIA CARE | LEICESTERSHIRE | UP TO £35,000

Being a Deputy Manager in care isn't easy.

You're the calm in the chaos, the one your team leans on, your manager relies on, and residents and families trust without question.

But the right home makes all the difference.

And this one has something most can't offer.

The Manager here has just been named Manager of the Year within the group.

That tells you everything about the culture, the standards, and the kind of leadership you'd be working alongside.

This is a residential and dementia care home set in a village location just outside Leicester, the kind of place that feels genuinely homely rather than institutional, with a real community feel and a team that takes pride in what they do.

Spacious en-suite rooms, accessible gardens, a full activities programme, and a minibus that gets residents out and about regularly.

The home is rated Good by CQC and the leadership team believe , with good reason, that Outstanding is within reach.

You'll be stepping into a role with real substance: supporting the day-to-day running of the home, leading and developing the team, and helping push a service that's already performing well toward something even better.

Behind you, you'll have the full weight of a well-established, family-run care group, 20+ years in the sector, an experienced Operations Director, Clinical Governance Director, a Quality and Compliance team, and Directors who are genuinely hands-on.

What we're looking for:

An experienced Deputy Manager or strong Senior/Team Leader ready to step up, with a solid background in residential or dementia care and the leadership maturity to make an immediate impact.

Please note: This role is unable to offer visa sponsorship.

You'll need the right to work in the UK independently.

The package:

• Up to £35,000 (DOE)


• 5.6 weeks' annual leave


• Contributory pension


• Paid induction and ongoing training


• Real progression within a stable, growing group
