Senior Care Practitioner

At CrossReach, we believe everyone deserves to live a life filled with dignity, respect and opportunity. Every day, our teams walk alongside individuals with learning disabilities and autism, supporting them to flourish, grow and live life on their own terms.

The role involves being at the heart of our service, balancing hands-on support with leadership responsibilities. One day you might be working one-to-one with someone to help them gain confidence in daily life, the next you’ll be coaching colleagues, leading care reviews or ensuring our high standards are consistently met. It’s a role where you’ll use your skills to create a safe, supportive environment, while encouraging choice, independence and wellbeing.

What you’ll bring:

• A recognised qualification such as SVQ Level 3/4, Social Work or Nursing and a relevant management qualification as recognised by the SSSC.
• Previous management or supervisory experience in social care.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A genuine sensitivity to people’s needs, with the ability to respond with warmth and professionalism.
• A personal Christian faith, with the ability to work in line with and uphold our Christian ethos.

What we’ll offer you:

You’ll be joining a dedicated, compassionate team in a service where every day brings the chance to make a real difference. We’ll support your professional growth with ongoing training, development opportunities and supervision, alongside the encouragement to explore your own ideas for improving care.

If you’re ready to use your experience and faith to help shape lives for the better, we’d love to hear from you.

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that supports others, including:

• Access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card.
• A generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit.
• Enhanced family friendly policies.
• Access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments.
• A care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges.
• Support for your professional membership fees.

CrossReach has been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years, providing loving care to people of all ages and supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances. We are committed to ensuring that we attract, retain, and develop the very best people to build a diverse and talented team and we recognise that every individual’s unique background, experience and ability contributes to our success.
