* Be the warm first point of contact at reception for residents, visitors, and families
* Support the Home Manager with recruitment, onboarding, and team induction
* Maintain and develop filing systems, resident records, and policy compliance
* Contribute to marketing activities including conducting show-rounds for prospective residents
* Lead on environmental sustainability initiatives as part of our ISO14001 commitments
* Provide weekend management cover on a rota basis, alternating with colleagues
