Deputy Homecare Manager
Lead. Inspire. Make a Difference with this Exciting Opportunity!
Are you an ambitious, passionate, and confident care professional looking for your next exciting leadership opportunity? Join our growing Homecare Team and take the next step in your career with a role where you can make a genuine difference every single day.
This exciting position offers the opportunity to deputise across two well-established homecare services in Eastbourne and Seaford, both proudly rated Good by the CQC and long-standing, trusted partners of East Sussex Social Services. You'll be joining a respected organisation with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, person-centred care and supporting people to live independently in their own homes.
This is far more than a typical care management role. As Deputy Care Manager, you'll work closely with the Registered Manager, providing leadership and operational support across both services. You'll play a key role in maintaining our excellent standards, developing our teams, and ensuring outstanding care for every client.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy leading people, and are committed to delivering exceptional care, this is the opportunity you've been looking for.

As Deputy Care Manager, you will:
- Deputise for the Registered Manager across our Eastbourne and Seaford services when required.

- Ensure care is delivered safely, effectively, and in full compliance with CQC regulations.
- Complete client assessments and develop high-quality, person-centred care plans.
- Support the smooth day-to-day operation of both services, including rota coordination and workforce planning.
- Monitor quality, identify opportunities for continuous improvement, and support business growth.
- Build and maintain positive relationships with clients, families, healthcare professionals, and local authority partners.
- Participate in a shared on-call rota to provide operational support when needed.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is:
- Experienced in supervising or coordinating care teams.
- A confident leader who can motivate and develop others.
- Organised, proactive, and able to remain calm under pressure.
- Passionate about delivering outstanding, person-centred care.
- Knowledgeable about CQC standards and care compliance.
- Committed to continuous improvement and achieving excellence.
What You'll Receive
In return, we offer:
- A competitive salary starting from £35,000 per annum.
- Generous bonus and performance incentive opportunities.
- The chance to work within two successful, CQC-rated Good services with an excellent local reputation.
- A supportive leadership team that values your ideas and development.
- Ongoing training and genuine opportunities for career progression.
- The satisfaction of making a lasting difference to the lives of vulnerable people across East Sussex.
