We are looking for a Senior Care Worker to support the delivery of high-quality, person centred care within our older people’s service. You will work closely with the management team to provide leadership on shift, support colleagues and ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the service.

This is a hands‑on role where you will lead by example, promote best practice and help create a safe, supportive environment for residents and staff.

• Leading shifts and supporting care staff to deliver high standards of care
• Providing personal care and emotional support to residents in line with individual care plans
• Administering medication in line with policies and procedures
• Supporting care planning, reviews and daily documentation
• Acting as a point of contact for staff, residents and families during shifts
• Supporting new staff through induction, mentoring and on-the-job guidance
• Promoting dignity, choice and independence at all times
• Contributing to a positive team culture and supporting continuous improvement

You will hold an SVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care and have experience working in a care setting, with the confidence to support and guide others. You will be calm, organised and able to lead shifts effectively while remaining approachable and supportive. You will have good communication skills, a strong sense of responsibility and a genuine commitment to providing high quality care.

You will be a member of the SSSC and PVG, or willing to join.

You will be part of a supportive and values‑led organisation where staff development, teamwork and quality of care are taken seriously. We offer ongoing training, opportunities to build leadership experience and the chance to make a meaningful difference every day.

If you are ready to take the next step in your care career and support others to deliver excellent care, we would love to hear from you. Apply now and join our team.

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

We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

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.
