Please Note:

We are not considering candidates who:

• Have only worked under nurses in care settings. As a residential home, we do not have nurses on staff. The Team Leader will be the most senior person onsite after the Manager and Deputy.
• Have experience solely as a Senior Carer/Senior Support Worker in a domiciliary care agency, as this role involves managing care on a smaller, more intimate scale.
