Are you a Deputy Manager or Clinical Lead in elderly care, ready to step into a regional role that improves care quality across multiple homes?
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-regarded, mission-led care provider operating a small portfolio of elderly residential and nursing homes. This newly created role will form part of their support hub, working closely with Home Managers, Deputies, and care teams to lift standards, boost compliance, and support homes through audits, inspections, and improvement plans.
If you're someone who thrives on variety, loves a spreadsheet as much as a training session, and wants to influence care quality at scale, this is a brilliant next step.
What's on offer:
* £36,000 base salary
* 10% performance bonus (paid quarterly)
* 35p per mile travel allowance
* 28 days holiday (inc. bank hols)
* Funded qualifications (plus up to £500 bonus on completion)
* Clear development path to Compliance Manager or Regional Manager roles
* Refer-a-friend bonus (up to £1,000)
* Excellent staff recognition scheme
* Pension scheme, EAP, and low-cost on-site meals
* DBS funded by employer
About the role:
As part of the provider's central quality team, you'll support care homes to meet and exceed compliance standards through hands-on guidance, data monitoring, training and on-site improvement work.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Producing monthly internal compliance reports
* Supporting audits, reviews and mock inspections
* Helping underperforming homes get back on track (on-site guidance)
* Supporting the training and development of Deputies, Team Leaders, and Seniors
* Ensuring accurate and proactive management of safeguarding, complaints, DoLS, pressure sores, falls, and weights
* Supporting with CQC readiness across homes
* Participating in the weekend on-call rota (approx. 1 in 3)
* Providing reports, analysis, and feedback to senior leadership
What we're looking for:
* At least 2 years' experience as a Deputy Manager in an elderly care setting
* Some experience delivering internal training (e.g. meds, moving & handling, fire safety)
* NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care (willing to work toward Level 5 or 7)
* Good IT skills (Excel, Word, Email)
* Full UK driving licence and confidence to travel 80+ miles regularly
* Willingness to stay away Mon-Fri as required for struggling home support
* Based within 60 minutes of Sleaford
This role would suit someone ready to leave day-to-day home leadership and take on a broader quality-focused role while still making a hands-on impact across homes that genuinely care about doing things right.
