• The ability to manage competing priorities and work effectively under pressure.
• Good IT skills and experience using electronic rostering or care-management systems.
• A professional, supportive and service-user-focused approach.
• Knowledge of CQC requirements and good practice within home care.
• A full UK driving licence and access to reliable transport.
• Full right to work in the UK
