Your Career With Us...

Due to a period of rapid expansion, Access Dignity Care have an exciting opportunity for two Team Leaders to join our successful team!

Working under our Registered Manager and our Care Supervisors, our new team leaders will enjoy a blended role consisting of, assessing, reviewing and the quality monitoring of new and existing service users, and front-line community-based care.

This blended 50/50 role is perfect for any existing carer looking for the next step within their career. What’s more, this role will enable you to grow within the industry, and within an expanding company to Supervisor or Management level, backed by an in house training and mentoring programme, with the opportunities to work towards QCF qualifications as your career progresses.

What will your week look like?

Team Leader Shifts: Working under the supervision of the Registered Manger & Area Care Supervisors, you will undertake the assessment of new service users prior to care commencing. This will include but not limited to, understanding the service users existing physical/mental conditions, assembling daily activities for care workers to undertake during their care visits, and compiling person centred care plans and risk assessments to meet their needs, wishes, requirements and preferences enabling them and supporting with independent living.

Care Shifts: Working across various care rounds, you will be the eyes and ears of Access Dignity Care obtaining quality feedback from service users and identifying areas of improvement and/or requiring change/updates, whilst providing class A care to service user’s across the area.

On-Call: During your on-call period you will be required to answer incoming emergency phone calls only, and attend to medication changes/updates and any staff rota changes when required. This is supported with care workers on stand-by availability 7 days a week to cover sickness/absence or adhoc issues if required, and access to support via a Senior Manager as and when needed.

We thrive as a company but having such an expansive support network available 7 days a week, to eliminate the age old pressures of managing an out of hours service. 

What will your working hours be?

Team Leader shifts are based on the office hours of 9am-5pm, and care shifts are 7am-3pm, both Monday-Friday.

On-call duties based on 1 in 4 weekends and 1 evening per week and are planned in advance with the full team.

Requirements:

Previous care worker experience as a minimum is required. Previous assessment and care planning experience is favourable but not essential as full training can be provided. The role will require adherence to ongoing compliance in line with CQC KLOE’S and company policy and procedure. Successful candidates will need to have a flexible attitude towards duties and be able to manage their time effectively and in an organised manor. A QCF level 3 is desirable or enrolment to the relevant course would be mandatory (which is fully funded and completed alongside the role). A full driving licence and access to a reliable vehicle is also required due to the care shifts being community based.

Location:

The role will be limited to Tendring (covering Clacton, Frinton & Walton) and Colchester if required. Adequate travel time is associated to each shift.
