    • Contributory Pension Scheme & competitive life cover
    • Health cash plan: Affordable healthcare at your fingertips
    • Career development: Opportunities for recognised qualifications and leadership training
    • Free DBS membership
    • Employee Assistance Programme – support when you need it most

    What you'll do

    • Lead and inspire a team to deliver outstanding, person-centred care
    • Organise rotas and ensure the right staffing levels at all times
    • Support with training, development, and supervision of staff
    • Work alongside customers to achieve their goals and promote independence
    • Maintain accurate records and ensure compliance with policies and regulations
    • Liaise with families, healthcare professionals, and external agencies
    • Step in to provide hands-on care and administer medication when needed

    What helps you shine here

    • Experience in a supervisory role within a care setting
    • A relevant qualification (NVQ/SVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care or equivalent)
    • Good communication, organisational, and leadership skills
    • A warm, supportive, and motivating approach to working with others
    • Willingness to work flexibly and take part in the on-call rota
