Extraordinary lives. Outstanding people.
The life of every resident we proudly care for is extraordinary, rich in history and unique life stories.

And we know that genuine care is delivered by passionate people who go above and beyond to help every resident live life to the full.
As a Head of Care, you’ll be part of the management team that sets the tone for delivering the highest standards of care in compliance with the NMC code of conduct. The safety of your team and the safeguarding of your residents are a key focus for this role. And together with your Home Manager, you will set the standards of excellence that empower and encourage your team to emulate. This is a role where the strength of the relationships you build with everyone around you will open the door to opportunities for further training and career development.
About the role
This is a role where you will be involved in everything from the training and development of yourself and your staff, to marketing the home to new residents and new staff. You’ll be responsible for maintaining detailed and accurate care records. You’ll be ordering and storing all medication safely. And you’ll be a point of contact for residents and their families. Representing your home with pride and passion. This is a role where health & safety management is core. And where your leadership skills will develop further. You’ll be up to date with current evidence-based practice and have a working knowledge of CQC Standards and Regulations and will work using your initiative making effective decisions to improve care quality. You will always strive to provide great quality holistic care, making every day better than the last. And you’ll be an ambassador of our values and striving to help every resident maintain the independence they seek and the dignity they deserve.

You’re a good listener – understanding what matters to your residents, their families, and your team. You’re a good learner – taking on the challenges of training your team and yourself. You’re ambitious – you want the best for your home and the best for your people. And your ambition for career success will come through the qualities above.
Above and beyond
