ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you an experienced senior carer or support worker with the passion to make a difference?

Do you want to work night shifts?

Can you lead a small team of people to deliver outstanding care to our residents, whilst encouraging them to always do their best?

Our care teams make a real difference every day and your professionalism, teamed with kindness and compassion, will be at the core of everything you do. Supporting the Home Manager, and leading a team of carers, you’ll be responsible for planning and implementing the kind of care that will give our residents a real sense of security, dignity, and independence. You’ll ensure care plans are regularly reviewed through continuous assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation. You’ll be able to manage your time between supporting your team effectively and ensuring the wellbeing of our residents.

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.

Located in the heart of Farnham Common, with convenient links to Slough, the M25 and M40, Farnham Common House is a warm and welcoming care home offering high-quality residential and dementia care. Set within a peaceful, leafy neighbourhood, the home combines a safe and comfortable environment with compassionate, person-centred support tailored to individual needs.

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:

• 30 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
• A Company pension
• Free uniform
• Free DBS
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme
• Care Worker Charity membership for well being and financial aid
• Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £1000 for every recommendation you make who successfully starts working for us
• Blue Light Card and “My Rewards” programme, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more

ABOUT YOU

You’ll have previous experience of working in a residential care setting with a NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care. You might have previous supervisory experience, like delegating tasks, supporting inductions for new starters and 1 to 1s but this is not essential.

What is important is you are a positive role model, with excellent communication skills and a natural ability to get along with others. A supportive individual, able to motivate others to deliver the best possible care to our residents at all times. Alongside being confident taking charge and being able to use your own initiative to resolve problems and deal with queries.

You will want to work night shifts to support our residents and team.

If you think you have the right skills and attitude to deliver the highest quality of care for our residents as a Night Senior Support Worker within our care homes, then you could be the next to join us.
