You will lead a team of Care Assistants and maintain the highest standards of care, influencing the rest of the team. Whether you are showing someone how to use a walking frame, helping someone at the end of life to eat a meal, or talking to a resident’s family on the phone, you will do so with kindness above all.

What’s essential is your positive energy and your ability to get along with people, effective record-keeping, and a patient, caring communication style.
