About the role
New Lodge is a thriving community in New Earswick that provides care accommodation for people aged 55 and over – a sanctuary for those looking to lead independent lives. The genuine sense of community and togetherness felt among our staff here is what makes it such a great place to work. Along with assisting residents and helping with day-to-day tasks, you’ll really get to know the people you support and become a familiar face to them and their relatives.
This role ensures a safe, effective, caring and well‑led service to our residents and their families at New Lodge.
The role of Care Team Senior is to provide relationship‑centred leadership and direction to the care team as a shift leader. It is a busy role, and no two days will be the same. It brings with it the need for flexibility and resilience as well as thorough working knowledge of safeguarding, compliance and health and safety, within an adult social care setting.
