Deputy Manager – £14 to £15 per hour
Location: Blackburn (BB2)
Hours: 40 hours per week, 5 days over 7
Reports to: Registered Manager
A long-established, family‑run care home in Blackburn is looking for a proactive and supportive Deputy Manager to help lead the service and ensure residents receive exceptional, person‑centred care. This is a strong opportunity for an experienced senior carer, team leader or deputy manager ready to step up, take ownership and play a key role in a warm, resident‑focused environment.
If you’re serious about quality care, enjoy leading teams and want a role where your presence genuinely matters, this will suit you well.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Supportive, family‑run service with a stable reputation
* Real influence over daily operations, standards and team culture
* Clear pathway to develop leadership, management and compliance skills
* Homely environment built on dignity, wellbeing and consistency
* A leadership role where your ideas and initiative are genuinely acted on
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll work closely with the Registered Manager to keep the home running smoothly and maintain high standards of care, professionalism and compliance. Responsibilities include:
* Supporting the Manager with all operational duties and deputising in their absence
* Providing clear leadership to the care team and modelling best practice
* Ensuring all care delivered is person‑centred, safe and tailored to resident needs
* Overseeing and signing off care plans and related documentation
* Ensuring staff receive supervision, training and ongoing development
* Managing rotas to ensure correct staffing levels and skill mix
* Maintaining accurate records, audits and documentation in line with standards
* Working alongside multidisciplinary teams to maximise resident wellbeing
* Promoting and protecting the welfare of every resident in the home
What We’re Looking For
Essential
* Minimum 2 years’ experience in a similar care environment
* Experience supervising or leading a team
* Strong written and verbal English skills
* Ability to maintain high‑quality care plans and documentation
* Strong communication skills with staff, residents and families
* Confident problem‑solving skills and sound judgement
* A positive, supportive, approachable attitude
Desirable
* Registration with a relevant professional body (e.g., NMC)
* Supervisory or management qualification suited to the role
* Experience supporting people with additional needs
* Knowledge of rota planning, staffing levels and skill mix management
* Experience chairing meetings or delivering training
The Values That Matter Here
* Treating people with respect and dignity
* Putting person‑centred care at the front of every decision
* Upholding compassion, empathy and kindness
* Commitment to safeguarding and speaking up when something isn’t right
* Championing inclusivity and ensuring no one is left out
* Taking pride in quality, consistency and continuous improvement
* Focusing on improving lives and supporting wellbeing every day
