We are rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, and our Support Workers deliver everything from 1 hour visits and companionship through to live-in care and complex health needs. Role Overview This is a varied role at the heart of our care team, split between the community and the office. Part of your week will be spent out in the community, covering care shifts on the rota and supporting customers yourself. The rest of your time will be spent leading the team: carrying out supervisions, spot checks and observations, and supporting the Area Manager, who you will report to. You will also spend time in our Truro office, keeping records up to date, reviewing care plans and helping to keep our standards high. Depending on the needs of the business, you may also work across our different services, which brings even more variety to the role. This role matters because good care depends on good leadership, and the best leaders know the work first-hand. Because you will still be with customers yourself, you will understand exactly what our Support Workers face each day. That makes your guidance practical, your feedback fair and your support real. Key Responsibilities You will lead by example, both in customers’ homes and behind the scenes: Cover care shifts on the rota, delivering safe, person-centred care Supervise, support and monitor a team of Support Workers, making sure care is delivered to a high standard Carry out regular supervisions, spot checks, observations and performance reviews Guide and mentor Support Workers in their roles and their development Make sure care plans are followed, and updated when a customer’s needs change Help with assessments, care plan reviews and risk assessments Audit care records, medication charts and care notes so our records stay accurate Respond to concerns and incidents promptly, with openness and a focus on learning Make sure we meet CQC regulations and our own quality standards Build good relationships with customers, their families and other professionals Take part in the on-call rota, shared across the team Behind every task is a person. One day you might be supporting a customer with their morning routine; the next you might be sitting with a new Support Worker after a difficult visit, or making sure a customer’s care plan keeps up with their changing needs. It is a role for someone who loves hands-on care, sets a high standard, and wants to help others do it well.

What matters most is that you are confident carrying out observations and supervisions, and comfortable writing care plans and risk assessments. If you have been doing this work and are ready for a role where your experience is valued and your voice is heard, we want to hear from you. How we will grow you You will have a full induction to get to know our customers, our team and the way we work.
