About The Role: As a Team Leader, you'll play a key role in creating a safe, welcoming and positive environment where residents receive exceptional care and your team feel supported.

Responsibilities

You’ll lead by example on shift, ensuring high standards are maintained while supporting the day-to-day running of the home. Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and coordinating shifts.
