Lead and Support a Well-Established Care Service
We are currently seeking an experienced Deputy Home Manager to join a well-established Nursing and Residential Care Home in Cullompton. The service provides high-quality long-term and respite care, including specialist support for individuals living with dementia, within a comfortable and thoughtfully designed setting.
