Clinical Deputy Manager

Clinical Deputy Manager | Mayflower Care Home, Northfleet (DA11) | Up to £65,000 per annum | Full Time | Days

Mayflower Care Home is a 76-bed dementia service supporting residents with advanced and complex needs. Following a recent service review we are strengthening our leadership team to bring greater consistency, clinical oversight, and day-to-day support into the home.

This is a hands on Deputy Manager role where visibility, clinical confidence, and leadership on the floor are essential. You’ll play a key role in stabilising and improving the service supporting the team in real time and working closely with the Home Manager to set and maintain high standards of care.

The opportunity

You’ll be at the centre of the home’s day-to-day clinical and operational leadership.

Working closely with the Home Manager you will help bring structure, pace, and accountability into the service. You’ll be a consistent presence for the nursing and care teams coaching, guiding and stepping in where needed to ensure high-quality care is delivered every day.

This is about visibility, not paperwork. Standards at Mayflower will improve because of what you do on the floor.

What we are looking for

You are a confident, credible nurse leader who is comfortable in a large, complex dementia service.

• Registered Nurse (RGN or RMN) with a valid NMC PIN.
• Minimum 2 to 3 year’s experience in a Deputy Manager or senior clinical role within a 60+ bed care home.
• Strong clinical grounding across core nursing fundamentals.
• Proven experience working within dementia care, including advanced and complex needs.
• A visible, hands-on leadership style you lead from the front.
• Experience supporting compliance, audits, and improving standards within a service.
• Calm under pressure, clear in your approach, and able to build trust quickly.

About You

You’re the person others look to when things get busy or uncertain.

You bring calm, structure, and clarity. You don’t shy away from difficult conversations, but you handle them with fairness and professionalism. You understand that in a service like this, leadership isn’t about hierarchy it’s about presence, consistency, and setting the standard every day.

You’re just as comfortable rolling up your sleeves on the floor as you are reviewing care plans or supporting an inspection.
