An exciting opportunity has arisen for a new deputy manager position within our registered care service in Great Holm, Milton Keynes.
Are you ready for the next step of your career? Have you been waiting for the right opportunity to use your experience working within a learning disability service?
As a deputy manager, you will be part of a well-established staff team working within a large, busy service where no two days are the same.
You will work closely with the registered manager to oversee the smooth running and delivery of our personalised adult services, ensuring outstanding delivery of support in line with our vision; for all people with a learning disability to live a life that makes sense to them.
This MacIntyre service is home to 42 people of mixed ages and interests living in self-contained residential flats with communal areas for the residents to mingle. You'll take your turn working shifts on a rota, including days, evenings, weekends, bank holidays and sleep-ins (approx 4 per month). Shift pattern is (early) 07:30 – 15:30, (late) 13:30 – 21:30, (sleep-in) 13:30 – 23:00 sleep in then 07:00 – 13:00 next day. This is an exciting opportunity that has potential to grow with you as you develop within MacIntyre.
As well as deputising for the Front Line Manager, you’ll be managing rotas, mentoring staff thus realising any potential training/coaching opportunities, liasing with families and overseeing the smooth operation of a large service.
You will be working closely with the people we support, families and internal/external specialist services and be able to actively promote MacIntyre and further develop community links. You will put the people who are supported by MacIntyre at the heart of everything you do.
What we need from you
You may have already worked as a team leader or a similar supervisory role, ideally within a registered care setting and have an understanding of how to manage a team successfully.
Our Deputy Manager will be someone who can see the bigger picture and have the visionary skill to be able to help develop the service further.
You’ll understand the intricacies and challenges of the sector, including CQC standards.
You will need to be flexible and organised, with a positive approach.
Attention to detail, and good Microsoft Word and Excel skills would also be beneficial.
You must be a driver with a manual licence, as you will be driving service vehicles, together with your own transport.
