Care Manager

Domus Recruitment are working with an established, multi-branch homecare provider who are looking to appoint a Deputy Care Manager to support their Eastbourne and Seaford services.

The provider has a good local reputation, and the Seaford service achieved a Good CQC rating in June 2026 with no recommendations.

Oversee the Seaford branch, working closely with the existing coordinator.

Support recruitment, staff development and retention.

Identify opportunities to develop and grow the Seaford service.

Take ownership of projects and compliance responsibilities to provide additional support to the Registered Manager.

Help build a stable and effective team capable of supporting further growth.

Deputy Care Manager Requirements:
Previous experience within domiciliary care.

An understanding of care compliance, medication processes and CQC requirements.

Experience supporting staff, managing operational responsibilities and maintaining service standards.

A proactive approach with the confidence to take ownership and make decisions.

Good organisational and communication skills.

Someone ambitious who is looking to develop into a more senior management position.

Ideally based in or around Eastbourne, with the ability to travel between Eastbourne and Seaford.

The role includes a one-in-five weekend on-call commitment. There may be occasions when care cover is required due to sickness, with any care delivered paid at the care rate.
