We’re looking for a compassionate Senior Care Worker to lead and support our night team. You’ll help create a calm and respectful environment where everyone feels safe, valued and cared for throughout the night.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll coordinate the shift, provide guidance to colleagues, and oversee the smooth running of the service. You’ll be involved in medication management, updating care plans, maintaining clear records, and stepping in when management cover is needed.

You’ll also support the development of your team through supervision, mentoring, and encouraging best practice in every shift.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading and supporting the care team during the night shift
• Helping with rota planning and ensuring adequate cover
• Administering and auditing medication
• Acting as a key worker for service users as needed
• Supporting with care planning and accurate record keeping
• Providing senior cover in the absence of a manager or deputy
• Offering supervision and guidance to staff
• Promoting a safe, supportive environment for everyone

What you’ll bring:

• SVQ Level 3 in Social Services and Healthcare (or equivalent)
• A willingness to complete SVQ Level 4, PDA Supervision and Assessor Award
• A calm, reliable approach and excellent communication skills
• Experience in leading or mentoring others
• A respectful and empathetic attitude, with a strong sense of accountability

This role carries an Occupational Requirement for applicants to be of Christian faith, in accordance with Part 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010. You’ll also need to be a member of the PVG Scheme, and registered with the SSSC (or willing to register on appointment).

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that supports others.

Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.

CrossReach has been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years, providing loving care to people of all ages and supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances.

As we do our work in Christ’s name the job you have applied for requires you to have a Christian faith and be able to work within and uphold our Christian Ethos. This is an Occupational Requirement under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.

This post requires you to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to be registered with SSSC and it is your professional responsibility to ensure that you meet the standards and criteria for registration.
