Deputy Home Manager

Stephen James Consulting is partnering with a highly regarded elderly care provider in Leicestershire to recruit an ambitious Deputy Manager for a well-established residential and dementia care service. This is an exciting opportunity to join a home that has a warm, homely atmosphere combined with a modern, well-maintained environment designed to support high-quality, person-centred care.

The service is known for its strong leadership team, stable staffing structure, and clear commitment to continuous improvement. It offers a calm and welcoming setting where residents are truly at the heart of everything, and where staff are supported to develop, grow, and take pride in the care they deliver.
