About The Role
As a Night Community Lead within our Residential Care Homes at Barchester, you'll look after the different needs of our residents to enable us to deliver quality, person-centred care and support throughout the evening and night. You will be responsible for leading a team of Care Assistants and Senior Carers, which will include training, supervisions and delegating duties on shift. You will also support with the administering and ordering of medication, reviewing and updating resident care plans and risk assessment, and liaising with GP's, district nursing teams and resident family members.
The role of Community Lead will involve some clinical responsibilities, including recording observations on weight and blood pressure, and carrying out simple wound dressing procedures. Across everything you do, you'll be a role model for your team and someone our residents and their families can trust to provide a safe, reassuring and happy environment. You will build key relationships within the home and externally.
