Parklands Care Homes is a multi award winning care company and one of the largest independent care home providers in the north of Scotland. It operates nine care homes across Moray and the Highlands, with a number of new care facilities planned in the coming years as part of a multi-million pound investment plan.

Parklands homes offer a range of services including residential, respite, nursing, personal and palliative care. Care needs are always tailored to the individual, and we see our residents and staff as part of the Parklands 'family'. Our friendly and dedicated staff go the extra mile to ensure that residents enjoy their stay at Parklands and live happy, fulfilled lives.

To complete our dedicated care team in our Innis Mhor Care Home in Tain, we are recruiting for a Shift Leader for permanent part-time hours with relief shifts available (Relief hours are for as and when required to cover holidays and sickness absence).

At Parklands we employ staff on the strength of their commitment to providing high quality, person centred care and their willingness to learn and work in a fast paced and challenging environment. You will work closely with our residents so it's essential that you have a warm, caring and, above all, patient personality. In return we offer the opportunity to work flexibly, with rates of pay which are higher than you would find in similar roles in the care sector.

This post will involve weekend work, based on shifts worked on a rotational basis.

You will manage a team of Care and Ancillary staff and will be responsible for your team members and those residents in your care whilst you are on shift. You will also be responsible for the safe delivery and recording of medication. There will be some administration/computer work involved in this role.
