The home offers a luxury, hospitality-led environment with a strong emphasis on resident experience, presentation, and quality of care. This is not a typical nursing home setting – it requires a Deputy who can combine clinical excellence with professionalism, leadership, and attention to detail.

- Lead on care planning, documentation and compliance
- Support CQC readiness, audits and governance processes

- Participate in the on-call rota and provide leadership support when required

- Opportunity to work within a luxury, high-end care environment
- Smaller service size allowing for hands-on leadership and impact
