Senior Caregiver

**Senior Carer - Build your Carer Career with a 'Outstanding' branch**

**Overview**

As Senior Carer you will work with our Registered Care Manager and Care Supervisor ensuring our team of Home Care Assistants deliver the highest possible level of care to our private clients who have 1 hour visits in their own homes across South Bucks. Your days will be a blend of supporting new and experienced care assistants, on boarding new clients, delivering care and office-based responsibilities.

**About You**

You will be calm and patient with attention to detail and the desire to ensure our Clients receive great Care. You will be adaptable and open minded enough to successfully blend your current care experience with Right at Home’s policies and methods of working, whilst always looking to offer suggestions to improve our offering.

Your personal values will be similar to our own values. You will take pride in developing those around you and will be confident enough to ask for guidance when you do not understand something. Overall, you will want to be seen as a role model to your colleagues and a dependable pillar of support to the Care Manager and Supervisor.

**Hours, Salary & Flexibility**

You will undoubtedly already know that Care is not a 9 to 5 Mon to Fri job so a degree of flexibility in your work pattern will be essential. That said, we are very open to being flexible and considerate with your hours of work so that this role fits around your home and social life.

This is a full-time role with a salary and further opportunity to work additional paid overtime if desired.
