Why work for us?
We spend so much time at work don’t we, so our ethos at Sanctuary Care is to enrich the lives of both our residents and staff. Let’s have some fun while we’re at work, support each other and work hard as a team. There’s loads of training and promotion opportunities available for those who want to pursue it and every day job satisfaction at The Manse for all regardless of role.
As a Deputy Manager, you will support the Home Manager in the day to day running of The Manse helping to lead a team of Care professionals with passion and commitment. You will form strong relationships with staff, residents and their families and your presence in the home will be pivotal to its success.
Sanctuary Care has over 100 care homes and you can ‘feel’ the difference a team makes the moment you step through one of our doors. The team at The Manse is special and we’re looking for a driven person to work alongside the Home Manager and lead by example. Become a part of it and apply for this role.
Where you’ll work
Outside the home, there are tranquil sensory gardens which are a peaceful spot in the heart of South Norwood. They are landscaped with raised flower beds for our residents who like to do a spot of light gardening. The front grounds also include a glorious Victorian gazebo, providing a shaded seating area for people to sit back and relax during the warmer months. The residents have their very own gardening club, which is wonderful for both those in residential and dementia care. The raised flower beds mean residents who have restricted mobility, or are in wheelchairs, can still rekindle a pastime they may have enjoyed before moving to The Manse.
You will have previous experience in a residential setting.
A full, valid driver’s licence is required and access to own vehicle is desirable.
What is also important to us is that you are a caring, enthusiastic and self-motivated individual, who is interested in working in a growing and progressive organisation.
