Duties:
- Provide high-quality personal care and support to residents.
- Lead shifts and act as a role model for the care team.
- Administer medication safely and accurately.

Skills:
The ideal candidate will have:
- Previous experience working in the care sector.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills.
- A genuine passion for delivering outstanding person-centred care.
- The ability to work independently and make sound decisions.
- Flexibility to participate in an on-call rota.
- A full UK driving licence (unless you live in the village).
