Deputy Manager - Nursing Home (Worcestershire Area)
As the leaves fall and the nights draw in, are you ready for a new chapter in your care career?
While some people are hunkering down in royal lodges or spooky castles this autumn, you could be leading a warm, vibrant care home where your leadership truly makes a difference — no tiaras required.
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Nurse Deputy Manager (RGN/RMN) to join a small, award-winning care group known for its heart, humour and high standards.
You'll be part of a team that values compassion as much as clinical skill — a place where “person-centred” isn't just a buzzword, but a way of life.
You'll lead by example, supporting residents to live their best lives, mentoring your team, and stepping up to oversee the home in the manager's absence.
From dementia care to end-of-life support, your expertise will shine in a home that truly puts people first.
Forget the corporate red tape — this is independent care done right.
You'll be trusted to lead your shift, develop your team, and be part of a home that's proud of its CQC compliance and family feel.
Alongside a competitive £24.50 per hour, you'll enjoy:
A supportive, nurse-led team culture
Free stays at a beautiful company holiday lodge in Devon (yes, really!)
Ongoing professional development with a Nurse Training Manager
Private healthcare cashback, wellness support, and free parking
A work environment where your ideas and initiatives are valued — not buried in bureaucracy.
If you're ready to trade palace gossip for purpose and want a role where your leadership changes lives every day, we'd love to hear from you.
Click Apply Now or message Tim at Recruitment Panda to find out more — before this opportunity disappears faster than the last pumpkin spice latte of the season.

Home Manager - No Cloaks.
No Drama.
Just Real Leadership.
With The Traitors back on screens, everyone's talking about trust, teamwork, and reading the room — the same skills that separate good leaders from great ones in social care.
This beautiful, characterful nursing home near Colchester is looking for an experienced Home Manager who can unite a strong team, steady the ship, and lead with authenticity.

What's needed now is a confident, proven leader who's managed a nursing home before and knows how to build a positive, motivated culture from the inside out.
This role calls for someone who can bring structure without rigidity, empathy without hesitation, and direction without ego.
The home is stable and rated Good by the CQC — now it's time to take it from good to exceptional.
Salary £55,000-£60,000, depending on experience
Previous nursing home management experience required
Support from an engaged senior team (occasional head office visits)
5.6 weeks' annual leave, EAP, and Westfield Health cashback scheme
Access to a staff lodge on the Devon/Cornwall border
A home with charm, character, and a dedicated team ready for the right leader
If your leadership style is more trusted ally than secret saboteur, it's time to step forward.

Care Home Deputy ManagerLeicester | £30,000 - £35,000
Deputy Manager can be the hardest job in a care home.
It can, because it takes commitment.
You need to be available.
You have to cover.
People under you escalate up, people above delegate down.
So it can be overwhelming.
“Can”.
Not here.
Here, you get help.
There's a support system in place.
At HQ, there's people who'll help with the paperwork.
The admin.
The breakdowns.
That leaves you free to do what you do best: Take care of your residents and your staff.
Which is probably the reason you started care work in the first place.
Why work here?The owners are businesspeople with a dozen care homes in Leicestershire.
They're entrepreneurial and aspirational, but still philanthropic.
They've won an Investors in People award, proving they treat their staff right.
So you get the benefits of growth - this is one of 5 newly acquired homes, with 2 more coming this year - without the cutthroat business nature - the residents are mostly local authority-led rather than private.
You can grow with them.
There's a major onus on upskilling.
They'll help you with qualifications and on-the-job learning.
Promotions are on the cards - previous deputies we've placed are managing their own care homes now.
And you get looked after.
There's 5.6 weeks' annual leave and a 3% contributory Nest pension.
What you'll doYou'll care for elderly residents (30+ beds) and oversee your care team.
With the growth comes change, so you'll need to manage that.
But it brings improved facilities and processes.
You'll also be part of the community.
You'll get out there, locally, and make a name for yourself.
Care, and be cared for in return.
About you
You might be:
A deputy manager at a care home who wants more support from above
A senior carer looking to make the step up somewhere supportive
A care home manager who wants to scale back their responsibilities
If you've experience working with the elderly, fantastic, but we'd also consider other backgrounds, like mental health.
You'll have, or at least be working towards, NVQ 5 in Leadership and Management.
If you're on your way, we'll help you get there.
Level 3 Health and Social Care is a must.
Whatever your background, you'll be given a paid induction to get you up to speed.

Home Manager - Leicester
Up to £45k + £11k+ Performance Bonus
The care sector headlines talk about pressure, staffing shortages, and regulatory challenges.
This is your chance to prove that, with the right leadership and support, a home can thrive.
You'll be leading a small, community-based residential home that's part of a family-run group with decades of success.
This is not a faceless corporate — you'll have genuine autonomy, direct access to decision-makers, and a supportive head office team that's committed to helping you succeed.
Why this role is different:
Strong foundations - a group with a track record of turning homes around and achieving positive inspection outcomes.
Embedded in the community - a home where staff, residents, and families are all locals.
Real support - Quality and compliance specialists, robust admin systems, and hands-on senior leadership who listen.
Values-led culture - putting residents first, empowering staff, and creating warm, homely environments where people thrive.
What you'll bring:
Proven care home management experience with strong CQC outcomes, or an ambitious Deputy with excellent tenure ready for your first registered role.
A balance of compassion and commercial acumen — you'll care deeply about people while understanding occupancy, budgets, and sustainability.
NVQ Level 5 in Leadership & Management (or working towards it).
What's on offer:
Salary up to £45k + £11k+ performance bonus.
The freedom to shape your service while knowing expert support is only a call away.
The opportunity to lead a home to Outstanding in a group that recognises and rewards great leadership.
This isn't just another Home Manager role — it's the chance to be the difference the headlines are calling for.
