Community Support Bed Deputy Manager

You'll provide day to day leadership and management to our care and support teams, creating a positive, inclusive and supportive working environment where colleagues feel valued and empowered to deliver outstanding care. You'll oversee staff supervision, appraisals, performance and attendance management, while supporting the recruitment, selection and development of a skilled and compassionate workforce.

Working closely with the Registered Manager, you'll coordinate staffing and rota management to ensure safe staffing levels, effective use of resources and continuity of care across the service.

You'll also take responsibility for the day to day operational management of the Community Support Bedded Unit, ensuring people have timely access to assessment, reablement and the support they need to maximise their independence. By working collaboratively with health and social care professionals, you'll help ensure smooth admission and discharge pathways, enabling people to receive the right care, at the right time, in the most appropriate setting.

As a visible and approachable leader, you'll champion high standards of care, quality and continuous improvement, ensuring services remain responsive, safe and person centred. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced leader who is passionate about developing teams, driving service excellence and supporting people to recover, regain independence and return home wherever possible.
