As Deputy Home Manager, Nursing, you’ll support the Home Manager with the management of the Home. Specifically, you’ll be responsible for rota planning, employee recruitment and both induction and mandatory training, ensuring that the clinical needs of our residents are recognised, assessed and met where possible.

Lewin House is a modern and spacious care home with 70 individual rooms positioned across four wings and plenty of other facilities. Our nursing home in Aylesbury was designed for the effective delivery of nursing care, with a specialist nursing unit located in each wing. There is plenty of communal and outdoor space, so everyone can get involved in the varied and stimulating programme of activities on offer. To make our residents feel at home, personal items can be brought along and added to individual rooms.
