Deputy Manager - Elderly Residential Home
Felixstowe
£32,000 - £36,000 (depending on experience)

We're working with a well-respected, medium-sized elderly residential home in Felixstowe that has built a reputation for genuinely looking after both its residents and its staff.

This home has excellent staff retention, and it's not by chance. While the formal benefits are in line with statutory expectations, what really sets this home apart is how the owners treat people. They go out of their way to support staff on an individual basis, whether that's paying for someone's driving lessons or helping them through periods of illness or bereavement with real compassion and flexibility.

If you're someone who gives a lot to your work, you'll be joining an employer who's prepared to give back.About the Role

• Supervising the team and leading by example
• Supporting with care planning, medication, and audits
• Ensuring compliance with safeguarding and CQC standards
• Being a point of contact for families and professionals
• Helping to maintain a warm, supportive environment for residents and staff alike

Your rota will include early and late shifts (7am-2pm or 2pm-8pm) and around 1-2 weekends per month. No night shifts. When covering for the Manager, you'll work standard office hours.About You
We're looking for someone with:

• Previous experience in a Deputy role - or a confident Team Leader ready to step up
