Care Team Leader - Richmond

As a Team Leader based at Cecil Court, Central and Cecil, you will be supported by the Home Manager. You will take the lead in supervising a dedicated team of caring professionals, working with them to ensure standards of care are maintained at the highest level and that each resident’s individual needs are met. This would be a perfect opportunity for you if you are already working in a senior care role, or you are looking to take the next step into a role with more responsibility and greater autonomy.

With previous experience of providing personal and social care to older people in a residential setting, you will hold a Level 3 diploma in Health and Social Care and be able to demonstrate post qualification learning and development. Shifts last for 12 hours and 20 minutes three days per week and additional shifts are available. We can offer flexible lengths of shift to accommodate yours and the home’s needs, for example covering our busiest times.

Central and Cecil as part of the Aster Group is not a sponsorship organisation and all candidates will be required to verify their right to work in the UK prior to commencement of employment with the Aster Group & its subsidiary brands.
