You already know how to provide excellent care. Now you’re looking for a role where your judgement is trusted, your ideas are both expected and welcomed and your leadership makes a visible difference.
At Manor House Care Home, “Senior” is more than a title. You will be a trusted shift leader, a reassuring presence for residents and families, and a positive role model for the care team.
We are not looking for someone who simply keeps a shift running. We want someone who can improve everyone’s lives so they can thrive
Are you an experienced level 3 qualified Senior Carer or Team Leader who leads with compassion, confidence and professionalism? At Manor House, care is about far more than completing tasks. It is about knowing each resident as an individual, protecting their dignity and helping them feel safe, valued and genuinely at home.
We are looking for a dependable Senior Carer who can confidently lead a shift, support colleagues and help us deliver consistently high standards of person-centred care. You will be able to lead through our values of ‘Family, Integrity, Empowerment, Openness and Excellence.’

- Maintain accurate care plans, risk assessments and daily records
- Recognise changes in residents’ health and escalate concerns promptly
- Communicate professionally with residents, relatives and healthcare professionals
- Support and guide Care Assistants, leading by example
- Follow safeguarding procedures and maintain high standards of safety
- Work in line with the Fundamental Standards, CQC, care-home policies, the Mental Capacity Act and DoLS
- Help create a welcoming home where residents and colleagues feel respected

- A good understanding of safeguarding and person-centred care
- The ability to remain calm, organised and make sound decisions
- A kind, respectful and positive approach
- Good communication and teamwork skills
- The flexibility to work alternate weekends
A full driving licence is preferable, although it is not essential.
