Band 4 Lead Health and Social Care Support Worker – Care at Home, North and West Sutherland

We are seeking motivated and experienced Band 4 Lead Health and Social Care Support Workers to join the Care at Home Service in Sutherland. Two opportunities are available, with one post supporting North Sutherland and one post supporting West Sutherland.

These roles have been developed as part of ongoing service improvement and redesign, with a focus on strengthening leadership, supervision and day-to-day oversight across the service.

The successful candidates will provide day-to-day operational support and supervision to Care at Home staff, helping to ensure safe, effective and person-centred care is delivered. You will play a key role in supporting staff in practice, monitoring the quality and standards of care, responding to changes in service need and contributing to the ongoing development and improvement of the service.

Applicants should have experience within a Health and Social Care setting, with strong communication and organisational skills. Experience of supporting, mentoring or supervising staff is desirable.

This is an excellent opportunity to take on a leadership role and contribute to the continued improvement and development of Care at Home services within North or West Sutherland.
