ABOUT YOU

You should have previous experience in a residential care setting with an NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care, or an NVQ Level 2 with willingness to study for Level 3. Supervisory experience like delegating tasks, supporting inductions, and conducting 1-to-1s is beneficial but not essential.

What matters most is you being a positive role model with excellent communication skills, the ability to motivate others, and confidence in taking charge. You should be proactive, able to resolve problems independently, and handle queries effectively.
