• Strong knowledge of care planning, medication management, and staff supervision — especially in an elderly or dementia care setting
• A compassionate, approachable team player who’s passionate about making a difference
• Skilled in using digital care planning and recording systems

Why join Anchor and Kingfisher Court?

• Financial well‑being tools, life assurance, and flexible salary access
• A supportive, inclusive team that values your voice and expertise
