About Abbeyfield

  • You'll supervise, support coach and develop other team members, and liaise with people involved in resident's care, as well as with the residents themselves. Put simply, you'll ensure residents' needs and wishes are at the centre of the care we provide.
  • As the Senior Carer on that shift, you will take the lead when staff or residents need help, such as in the event of an emergency.

  • As a Care Team Leader, you must be able to demonstrate good organisation and staff management skills. You'll already be skilled in writing and updating Care Plans, and competent in the administration of Medication.
  • Most of all, you'll be passionate and committed to providing exceptional care to our residents, their families and friends.
