You will be part of a team of managers and other senior support workers directing, supporting, guiding and developing the staff to be the best support team that they can be for our residents. You will work closely with specialist roles within the organisation such as therapy services, links to Education and Day services as well as nursing support for those who have more complex medical needs.
To be successful you will have worked in a senior/supervisory role and previously in a care setting, understanding the importance routine and structure for our residents. You’ll also be committed to inspiring the people you support and helping make a positive difference to the lives of residents.
