We have a fantastic opportunity for a Deputy Manager to support our friendly, motivated teams within our Redcar Services (3 services within the scheme) at Milewood Healthcare.
This isn’t just a job; this is making a difference in people’s lives every day.
This role is ideal for a Deputy Manager looking for a new challenge or an experienced Senior Care Worker looking to take the next step in their career.
About the role
Our Care Workers are enthusiastic about providing a high-quality and bespoke service to each of our service users, always putting those in our care at the heart of what we do. To ensure we can achieve this, the Deputy Manager role is to support the Registered Manager in their diverse tasks for the day to day management of the homes within a residential setting. This includes having a main focus on care planning, staff rotas, training and support, and the monitoring of the health and welfare of the service users.
To succeed in this position, you will need great communication and interpersonal skills so that you can form solid relationships with the Care Workers, service users, and other colleagues.
