Deputy Manager (Residential Care)
The Amwell Care Home – Melton Mowbray
£55,000 per annum | 40 hours per week | £3,000 Welcome Bonus (T&Cs apply)
Help us shape a brighter future for our residents, our team, and yourself.
At The Amwell, we’re on a journey and we’re looking for a Deputy Manager who’s ready to walk alongside us, lead from the front, and help steer our beautiful home through its next chapter.
Set in the picturesque market town of Melton Mowbray, The Amwell is a luxury, 88-bed residential care home offering an all-inclusive living experience. With a superb 9.9 score on carehome.co.uk and a stunning riverside setting, we’re proud of the community we’ve built but we know there’s work to be done.
Our current CQC rating is Inadequate overall, despite receiving 'Good' in Caring and Responsive. With a new, highly experienced Home Manager, a hands-on Senior Leadership Team, and daily support from our regional quality team, now is the time to make meaningful change and we need a Deputy who can help lead it.
What we offer in return
* £55,000 per annum full-time permanent contract (40 hours per week)
* £3,000 Welcome Bonus (terms and conditions apply)
* Real influence in a home that’s investing in leadership and improvement
* Ongoing training and professional development
* Support from an experienced, visible senior team who share your vision
What makes this role different
This isn’t just another Deputy role. You’ll be a visible, influential leader driving quality, compliance, and culture from the floor up. You’ll bring a calm head, a sharp eye for auditing and standards, and a passionate belief in doing the right thing, even when it’s tough.
You’ll be someone who can:
* Step up with confidence in a home that’s in transition
* Support and mentor a dedicated care team through change
* Be the Manager’s right hand and at times, their backbone
* Build trust, lead with integrity, and rally people towards a shared goal
* Take ownership of audits, compliance checks, care planning, and resident wellbeing
What we’re looking for
Proven experience in a senior role within a residential care setting
Strong working knowledge of CQC regulations and the ability to drive improvements
Confidence to make quick, safe decisions and lead by example
A people-first mindset and passion for mentoring and developing others
Organised, resilient, and proactive someone who thrives under pressure
