Care Supervisor / Field Care Supervisor

Bluebird Care Worthing | £27,500 per annum | Full Time

Are you passionate about delivering outstanding care and helping others be the best they can be?

Bluebird Care Worthing has a fantastic opportunity for a motivated, organised and enthusiastic Care Supervisor to join our friendly and supportive team.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in delivering high standards, enjoys building relationships and has the confidence to support, guide and develop a team of Care Assistants.

At Bluebird Care, we believe that exceptional care starts with exceptional people. Our customers rely on us to provide compassionate, consistent and personalised support that enables them to remain independent in the comfort of their own homes.

As our Field Care Supervisor, you'll play an important part in making that happen, ensuring our Care Professionals have the skills, knowledge and support they need to deliver the very best care.

What can we offer you?

We recognise that looking after our team is just as important as looking after our customers. When you join Bluebird Care Worthing, you can expect:

• £27,500 annual salary
• Up to 28 days paid annual leave + Bank Holidays
• Your birthday off every year
• Funded annual MOT for your work vehicle
• Company-paid health scheme offering financial support towards dental care, glasses, physiotherapy and more
• Paid sickness and compassionate leave, in line with company policy
• Company pension scheme
• Full induction and ongoing training
• Continued opportunities for professional development and career progression
• Smartphone technology to support efficient, paperless working
• A welcoming, supportive team where your contribution is recognised and valued

What will you be doing?

Working closely with our Care Coordinator and wider management team, you'll have a varied and rewarding role that combines hands‑on support, quality assurance, care planning and team development.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting and developing our Care Assistants: Providing guidance, encouragement and constructive feedback to help our care team grow in confidence and deliver outstanding care.
• Maintaining high standards of care: Carrying out regular supervisions, observations and spot checks to ensure care is safe, personalised and consistently meets our expectations.
• Writing and reviewing care plans: Creating clear, detailed and person‑centred care plans that reflect each customer's individual needs, preferences and routines, ensuring they remain accurate and up to date as circumstances change.
• Completing risk assessments: Identifying and assessing potential risks, developing appropriate measures to keep customers and Care Professionals safe, and regularly reviewing assessments to reflect changing needs.
• Building strong relationships: Getting to know our customers, their families and our Caregivers, ensuring everyone feels listened to, valued and supported.
• Responding to changing needs: Identifying and responding proactively to changes in customers' care requirements, working with the wider team to ensure their support remains appropriate.
• Promoting safe and effective care: Identifying potential concerns, addressing issues promptly and helping to ensure our care services remain compliant with regulatory requirements.
• Providing practical support: Stepping in to deliver care visits when required, supporting the team and helping to maintain continuity for our customers.
• Working collaboratively: Communicating effectively with Care Coordinators, Care Professionals and the management team to ensure information is shared and actions are followed through.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who genuinely cares about people, takes ownership of their responsibilities and enjoys making a difference.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Experience working in domiciliary care or a similar health and social care setting.
• A good understanding of what excellent, person‑centred care looks like.
• Experience of writing or reviewing care plans and risk assessments, or the confidence and willingness to develop these skills.
• The confidence to support, motivate and provide constructive feedback to others.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• A proactive, solution‑focused approach to challenges.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build positive working relationships.
• A commitment to safeguarding, quality and continuous improvement.
• A willingness to get involved and support the wider team whenever needed.

Previous supervisory experience would be an advantage, but we're equally interested in hearing from experienced Care Assistants or Caregivers who are ready to take the next step in their careers.

A full UK driving licence is essential for this role.

Working hours

Your regular office hours will be Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.

As we provide care outside standard office hours, you'll also need to be willing to participate in our emergency on‑call rota, which includes some evenings and weekends.

Why join Bluebird Care Worthing?

We're proud of the care we provide and the relationships we've built with our customers, their families and our team.

We want everyone who works with us to feel supported, valued and confident in their role. We encourage new ideas, recognise hard work and believe in developing our people.

This is an excellent opportunity to take the next step in your care career, build your leadership experience and have a genuine impact on the quality of care we deliver every day.
