The deputy manager role

A deputy manager holds the service together day to day. Rotas, supervisions, care plan audits, medication audits and the daily decisions the manager does not need to make personally all sit here.

You step up when the manager is away, which means the role is also the apprenticeship for registration. In a nursing home the post is often a clinical deputy and carries a caseload as well.
