Carry out or support regular 1:1s, supervisions and appraisals in line with policy.
Promote good practice in health & safety, fire safety, food safety and infection prevention.
Be flexible to cover care shifts, on-call duties and occasional travel for meetings or training.

About you

You will bring:

Previous experience working in a care setting.
Experience of leading a shift or deputising for a manager.
Medication administration experience.
Good IT skills, including use of email and basic office systems.
Strong communication skills, both verbal and written.
The ability to lead, motivate and support a team.
Sensitivity to the needs of older people and an inclusive approach to care.
