Job description

We’re one of the largest not for profit care provider in the UK, specialising in providing high quality, person-centred care for older people, in care homes and extra care housing nationwide. At OSJCT we care about our residents and we care about each other. That means you’ll enjoy great career development working for an expanding organisation. Because we’re a not for profit trust, we invest every penny we make in the people who live in our homes and the people who work here too. This means better quality care and lovely homes for our residents, along with competitive wages and great training and development for our people. We provide outstanding care, working closely with leading experts on dementia and elderly care. And we’re currently modernising our portfolio of care homes – refurbishing our existing homes and moving into new, inspiring, contemporary care homes too. As we expand nationwide, we need more people with the right mix of skills, passion and ambition to help us grow even more.

Domiciliary Care Manager

Location: Orchard Meadows, Banbury / Moorside Place, Kidlington, Oxfordshire

Pay rate: £42,840 per annum

Our Extra Care Housing schemes are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments in one location, all carefully designed and built to help tenants live as independently as they can. With their own front door within the apartment block, tenants can come and go as they please, socialise with neighbours in the communal areas or enjoy their own company in privacy. Within each housing scheme our care teams are on hand round the clock to support our tenants with daily tasks and activities.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you a passionate elderly care manager, motivated and driven to make a difference?

Can you combine your exceptional care skills with the commercial acumen needed to manage finances and other resources to ensure the continued effectiveness of the care services we offer?

As Domiciliary Care Manager for two locations, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of care services. Motivating and leading your team to deliver the high standards of care our tenants deserve, you’ll create a culture where professional and personal development is recognised and rewarded. With full autonomy to manage your resources effectively to ensure the schemes are financially sustainable, you’ll be able to draw on your strong business and sales background to drive the schemes forward, increase occupancy and build lasting relationships with a range of stakeholders.

In return we’ll provide opportunities for career development and training to support your personal growth, all delivered in a nurturing, engaging and rewarding environment.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll need to be an experienced elderly care professional with proven domiciliary or residential home management experience ideally with, or working towards, a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care or equivalent. You’ll be confident in networking to increase occupancy levels and proficient in managing budgets, people and other resources. A supportive and caring leader who empowers their team to always do their best in delivering the highest standards of care.

AND IN RETURN

The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we’re currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK. Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, colleagues and the care homes we live and work in. Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development.

Here are some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a valued member of our team:

• A Company pension
• Simply Health Cashback Plan
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme
• Blue Light Card and “My Rewards” programme, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more.
