About the Role
As a Care Team Lead, you'll combine hands-on care delivery with operational leadership. You'll spend around half your time out in the community providing direct care, and the rest of your time supporting your team, monitoring compliance, and driving quality improvement across the service. This is a hybrid role for someone who wants to stay connected to frontline care while stepping into leadership and mentoring responsibilities.
