About The Role
As our Deputy Manager, you will assist in managing operations within the home in order to reach or exceed goals while assuring the provision of high-quality care. You will be in charge of overseeing the care staff and will be expected to assume full management in the event that the Home Manager is not present.
Through direct instruction and by setting a good example, you will assist in training and supervising care staff in all facets of their work. You will help the Home Manager with pre-admission assessments of residents, ensure that each resident's care plan and daily records are kept up to date, and foster effective communication with the residents' families and other organisations.
Kingsley Specialist Services (https://kingsleyspecialistservices.co.uk/) provides support for people with learning disabilities and complex needs, including those who would benefit from living in a more peaceful setting.
We successfully meet those needs by delivering the positive behaviour support (PBS) model of care, which is at the core of all we do. The PBS values include person-centred care, promoting choice and independence, participation and inclusion. This approach must be applied to all the people we support to empower them to live a meaningful and happy life, within an environment which grows and adapts with each individual.
We endeavour to understand what the person is communicating and respond in a proactive way to meet their needs, as well as offering an alternative behaviour, thereby reducing the likelihood of behaviours of concern or distress. You will be role modelling this approach and supporting staff to apply PBS in all they do.
