Deputy Manager
Department: Senior Management and Leadership
Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time
Location: Life Works House
Compensation: £300,000 / year
Description
Priory Life Works House is looking to recruit a Deputy Manager to join the team. This is a full-time/ 37.5 Hour role working Monday- Friday.
It is home to Flourish - our pioneering therapy-led addiction programme - offering bespoke treatment for a wide range of addictions in a calm, homely environment. Set within a supportive community, Life Works House provides a safe haven away from the stresses of daily life, forming part of our wider network of residential addiction treatment homes across the UK.
Delivered by qualified therapists in a non-medical setting, Flourish offers an alternative to traditional hospital-based treatment. It's ideal for people who don't need a medical detox or ongoing medical care but would benefit from structured therapy, community connection, and practical tools to achieve meaningful, sustainable recovery.
What you'll be doing
You will be part of a compassionate team who are committed to our patients wellbeing. We take a personalised approach, using proven therapies to help people move forward with confidence and build a healthier, more fulfilling future. You will play a key part in their recovery, assisting qualified staff with the assessment and implementation of individual patient care plans, undertaking routine tasks and activities as directed or delegated to facilitate wellbeing, dignity and treatment of patients.
What you'll bring to the role
Our work is rewarding but can be challenging, so resilience is key. No two days are the same! Your natural empathy will help you support others through both the highs and lows.
A good working knowledge of CQC standards, safeguarding, health and safety, and clinical governance is essential, along with the ability to maintain accurate records and support audits and inspections. The role requires excellent organisational and communication skills, a calm and compassionate approach, and the ability to manage challenging situations professionally. The ideal candidate will be resilient, values-driven, and committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred, recovery-led care within a residential setting.
For more information about the role, please email andreadavis@priorygroup.com
What we will give you in return
We want you to succeed at Priory and thrive in your role. You will be well supported with regular career conversations. We also offer full training and numerous pathways into leadership and qualified clinical positions to help you shape your career with us.
