Job description

Are you ready for the next step in your career?

If you are organised, self-motivated, and interested in developing and supporting others, this could be the role for you!

We’re offering a very rewarding role in which you will be challenged and your leadership skills developed. We are a caring and supportive team, and we pride ourselves on our extensive, in-house training programme. We support individuals to regain their independence following an accident or a period of illness, and we help them to remain in their own home.

As a Team Leader you will:

• Support and manage a team of Support Workers
• Oversee client review visits
• Lead and develop key areas of the service, for example medication and Equality & Diversity
• Be the first point of contact for Support Workers for advice, including at evenings and weekends.

We are looking to invest in talented individuals who want to connect with people. Experience in communicating with clients and professionals, accurately recording information, and working in a fast-paced environment will stand you in good stead for the position of Team Leader. Experience in care, however, is not essential.

To apply for this role please follow the ‘Apply Now’ button above and upload a CV and cover letter addressing how you meet all the criteria in the person specification drawing on any relevant work/life experience, education or personal interests.
