If you have NVQ Level 3 and proven experience of caring for older people, and are looking for a rewarding role that comes with excellent training and great opportunities for personal development, join Care UK as a Senior Team Leader and make a real difference.

Being a Senior Team Leader at Care UK

Senior Team Leaders at Care UK are flexible in approach and have broad experience of caring for others and leading shifts. They’re great at building relationships and inspiring others too. Collaborating and sharing information and ideas comes naturally to them, as does using tact and diplomacy to deal with challenging situations and quickly resolving them. Their innovations help to raise standards, while their passion for what they do is second to none. And, they consider it a privilege to be trusted to look after others. Do you have the same sort of attributes? Then we could have just the role for you.

What you’ll be doing

Being a Senior Team Leader Is about acting as a role model by leading and supervising carers day-to-day, working alongside them and completing regular staff appraisals. It’s also about taking responsibility for case managing residents and liaising with families, health care professional and other stakeholders to ensure that the best care plans are created and delivered. Working closely with nurses to develop the services we provide is an important aspect of the role too, as is administering medication and carrying out risk assessments. Put simply, it’s about making a difference. A real difference.

What you’ll need

Well-organised, IT literate and adept at allocating and delegating work appropriately, you have a proven ability to lead and supervise others and a good understanding of care planning processes. What’s more, you're trained, or willing to train, to administer medication and used to contributing to, monitoring and implementing changes that improve outcomes for residents. Above all, you have a natural ability to help make the lives of others more fulfilling and want to work in an environment where the work can be hard, but also fun and rewarding.

Trusted to care

A closely-knit team of managers, carers, nurses and support colleagues – and each of us is dedicated to your loved one’s care, health and wellbeing.

Hi, I’m Julie and I’ve been with Care UK for over eight years, having previously worked as Deputy Manager before becoming Home Manager. Throughout my career, I’ve completed Level 4 and Level 5 qualifications in Supervisory Management. I chose Care UK because of its strong reputation for delivering high-quality, person-led care and its commitment to supporting residents, their families and colleagues. It has given me the opportunity to develop my career while making a real difference to people’s lives.

I believe a Home Manager should be compassionate, approachable and an effective leader. Building trusting relationships, leading by example and always putting residents at the heart of everything we do are values that are incredibly important to me.

My favourite part of the day is spending time with our residents and colleagues first thing in the morning. I enjoy chatting with our early risers over their first cup of tea, catching up with the team and making sure everyone has everything they need for the day ahead. Those moments remind me why I love my job.

Becoming a Home Manager has been the highlight of my career. I'm proud to lead a dedicated team and create a positive culture where residents receive the highest standards of person-led care and colleagues feel valued, supported and encouraged to grow.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and animals. I love being outdoors, whether it's walking, kayaking or cycling, and I'm also passionate about live music and festivals. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance helps me return to work with the energy and enthusiasm to support our residents, their families and my team every day.
