Bank Care Leader

We’re one of the largest not for profit care providers in the UK, specialising in providing high quality, person-centred care for older people in care homes and extra care housing nationwide.

At OSJCT we care about our residents and we care about each other, which means you’ll enjoy great career development while working for an expanding organisation. Because we’re a not for profit trust, we invest every penny we make in the people who live in our homes and the people who work here too, bringing better quality care and lovely homes for our residents, along with competitive wages and great training and development.

We provide outstanding care, working closely with leading experts on dementia and elderly care, and we’re currently modernising our portfolio of care homes – refurbishing existing homes and opening new, contemporary ones.

As we expand nationwide, we need more people with the right mix of skills, passion and ambition to help us grow even more.

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

Can you lead a small team of people to deliver outstanding care to our residents, while 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, and you’ll manage your time between supporting your team effectively and ensuring the wellbeing of our residents.

In return we’ll provide opportunities for career development and clinical training to support your personal growth, all delivered in a nurturing, engaging and rewarding environment.

The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we’re currently the second largest not‑for‑profit provider in the UK. Not‑for‑profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, colleagues and the care homes we live and work in. Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development, along with the safety and health support necessary for all staff.

Here are some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a valued member of our team:

• 30 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
• A company pension
• Free uniform
• Free DBS
• Higher rates of pay at weekends
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme
• Care Worker Charity membership for wellbeing and financial aid
• Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £1,000 for each successful recommendation
• Blue Light Card and “My Rewards” programme, offering discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more

You’ll have previous experience of working in a residential care setting with an NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care, or you’ve achieved NVQ Level 2 and are prepared to study for NVQ Level 3. You may have previous supervisory experience, such as delegating tasks, supporting inductions for new starters and 1-to‑1 sessions, but this is not essential.

You are a positive role model with excellent communication skills and a natural ability to get along with others. You motivate your team to deliver the best possible care to our residents at all times, and you are confident taking charge and using your own initiative to resolve problems and address queries.

If you think you have the right skills and attitude to deliver the highest quality of care for our residents as a Care Leader within our care homes, we would love to hear from you. Apply now to start your career with us today.
