Shift Pattern: 9:00am - 3:30pm Monday to Friday (On call duties every 3 weeks)

ABOUT THE ROLE
Do you have experience of working in elderly care, with the passion to make a difference? Can you lead a small team of people to deliver outstanding care to our clients, whilst encouraging them to always do their best?
Our Extra Care Housing schemes are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments in one location, all carefully designed and built to help clients live as independently as they can. With their own front door within the apartment block, clients can come and go as they please, socialise with neighbours in the communal areas or enjoy their own company in privacy. Within each housing scheme our care teams are on hand round the clock to support our clients with daily tasks.
Our care teams make a real difference every day and your professionalism, teamed with kindness and compassion, will be at the core of everything you do. Supporting the Domiciliary Care Manager, and leading a small care team, you’ll manage the day-to-day running of the domiciliary care service, focused on giving our clients a real sense of security, dignity, and independence. You’ll ensure care plans are regularly reviewed through continuous assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation. You’ll be able to manage your time between supporting your team effectively and ensuring the wellbeing of our clients.
ABOUT YOU
Ideally with, or working towards, a Diploma/NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care or equivalent, you’ll have a proven track record caring for vulnerable individuals with a commitment to providing high quality care at all times.
You’ll also have previous supervisory experience from the health and social care sector, including managing rotas and payroll, performance reviews, interviewing and inductions for new starters. Alongside being confident in working on your own and being able to use your own initiative to resolve problems and deal with queries.
At the request of your manager, you may be asked to travel to some of our other schemes, so you’ll need to have access to transport. You will also be part of the on-call rota.
AND IN RETURN
The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we’re currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK. Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, clients, colleagues and the care homes and schemes we live and work in. We keep our colleagues safe with plenty of PPE, alongside offering a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, and investment in training and development. Here are some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a valued member of our team:
