• Reviewing and updating Medication Recording Charts (MRCs) and managing system alerts for changes or repeat prescriptions.
• Completing 6‑8‑week reviews and annual PCP reviews to make sure every plan reflects the individual’s current needs.
• Reacting promptly to changes in care needs, adjusting plans and risk assessments as required.
• Conducting competency assessments with care staff for medication management and moving & handling techniques.
• Performing spot checks and quality reviews to maintain high standards of care and compliance.
• Supporting the branch with investigations or quality improvement initiatives when required.
• Flexibility to be part of the on‑call rota to provide occasional support outside standard hours when the service requires it.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience within domiciliary care, particularly in assessment, quality, or audit roles.
• Strong understanding of medication management and record‑keeping requirements.
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills.
• Confident communicator with empathy and professionalism when dealing with service users, families, and colleagues.
• Ability to prioritise tasks, manage time effectively, and work independently.
• Full UK driving licence and access to a car, as travel between services is required.
• A genuine passion for ensuring high‑quality, person‑centred care.

Why join Choices Homecare?

• Flexible working: 20 hours per week, Monday‑Friday, with local travel.
• Training & development: Continuous learning through the Optimo Learning Academy.
• Supportive culture: You’ll be part of a collaborative team that shares your commitment to quality.
