Job Description:

Run a Service. Lead a Team. Make a Difference.

Eidyn Care is looking for a strong Service Manager / Deputy Manager to lead our growing Fife home care service.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants real responsibility — not just paperwork and box-ticking.

You’ll lead the team, keep the service running smoothly, and make sure our clients receive outstanding care in their own homes.

If you like taking ownership, solving problems, and building a solid team, you’ll fit in well here.

The Role

You will manage the day-to-day running of the Fife service, supporting coordinators, field staff and care workers.

You’ll work closely with the Registered Manager but will be trusted to run the service independently.

This role is office-based in Lochgelly, with visits to clients and staff for care reviews, supervisions and spot checks.

Participation in the on-call rota is required.

  • Running the Service
  • Leading the day-to-day operations
  • Making sure clients receive safe, high-quality care
  • Keeping standards high and problems low
  • Carrying out audits and improvements
  • Making sure the service runs smoothly

Leading the Team

  • Supporting field supervisors and care staff
  • Supervisions and appraisals
  • Managing monthly KPIs
  • Helping recruit and onboard new staff
  • Building a positive team culture

Keeping Things Organised

  • Oversight of rotas and staffing levels
  • Accurate care records and documentation
  • Working with councils and professionals
  • Supporting service growth

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in home care or social care
  • Experience leading or supervising staff
  • Strong organisational skills
  • Calm under pressure
  • Good IT and written skills
  • SVQ Level 3 (or working towards Level 4)
  • Willingness to register with SSSC
  • Driving licence

Ideal Experience

  • Deputy Manager or Service Manager experience
  • Audit or compliance experience
  • Coordinating or rota experience

What You Get

  • Supportive leadership
  • Training and development
  • Stable and growing company

This Job Is For You If:

You:

  • Take ownership
  • Fix problems instead of ignoring them
  • Support your team
  • Care about doing things properly
  • Like running a tight ship

This Job Is NOT For You If:

  • You want an easy ride
  • You prefer paperwork to leadership

Eidyn Care delivers high-quality home care across Fife and Edinburgh. We focus on consistent teams, strong leadership and excellent standards.

We’re building something long-term and want managers who want to be part of it!
