With a network of 9 offices across Scotland, we are united by a shared mission: to change the face of ageing by delivering personalised, relationship-led care that enables people to live well at home for longer.

We believe that great care starts with great people. That’s why we invest in our teams, nurture talent, and create a culture where everyone feels valued and supported.

About the Role

As a Senior Care Professional, you will play a vital part in ensuring the highest standards of care and support are delivered across both our clients and Care Professionals. This hybrid role combines time in the community providing quality, relationship-led care, with responsibilities in the office supporting our operations and care team development. You will be a role model for excellence, bridging the gap between frontline care and office leadership, ensuring consistency, quality assurance, and responsive support for both clients and Care Pros.

• Undertake regular on-call duties, including:
• One weekday per week
• One in four weekends
• Responding to calls and providing support as required
• Work 10 hours per week in the office to:
• Support the office team with day-to-day operations
• Assist with Care Professional leads and support visits
• Maintain communication with clients and families
• Be available to cover care hours as required and provide flexible support to both the office and the community.

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a compassionate, confident, and experienced care professional who is ready to take the next step in their career. You will be someone who leads by example, demonstrates a genuine passion for high-quality care, and has the ability to balance both community-based and office responsibilities. Flexibility, reliability, and strong communication skills are key, along with the confidence to support Care Professionals and clients in a variety of situations.

Essential qualities and skills include:

• Previous experience delivering care, ideally with a strong understanding of person-centred approaches.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships.
• Confidence in supporting, mentoring, and developing Care Professionals.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to balance multiple priorities.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset when responding to client or Care Pro needs.
• Willingness to take part in an on-call rota, including evenings and weekends.
• Flexibility to work both in the community and in the office as needed.
• A genuine passion for enhancing the lives of clients and supporting Care Professionals to succeed.
