East Devon care home seeks new manager

Here at Doveleigh Care Ltd, we continually strive to improve on the high standards that we set ourselves.

To this end, we have decided to create a new position within the company of a Quality Assurance & Improvement Manager. This position will be taken by Samantha Evens who is currently our Senior and Registered Manager of Arcot House in Sidmouth.

Not only is this enhancing our well established management team, this is now giving an opportunity for someone new to join our team.

Are you an experienced residential care home manager with a proven track record or a deputy manager now looking to take your next step in your career to work with an outstanding care provider in East Devon with an existing and dedicated staff team?

If so, Doveleigh Care Limited has an opportunity for you.

All of our homes are presently rated 'Outstanding'. All are Outstanding for the second consecutive time, with Arcot House adjudged to be Outstanding in all five domains twice.

This is not luck, nor is it by the individual qualities of each manager alone. It is a combination of being a good, competent and dedicated manager who is fully supported by the provider and General Manager, which in turns allows our Registered Managers to fulfil their full potential. Does this sound like you?
