ABOUT THE ROLE

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

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.

We support adults with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, autism, and other complex needs to live fulfilling, independent lives. Downley Lodge is a separate, adjacent accommodation within The Heights’ site where younger adults with complex needs live. It has its own staff team and entrance but is part of the same overall CQC-regulated service.

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.

Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development

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.
