Take the Next Step in Your Care Career
Are you an experienced Community Carer ready to take on more responsibility and develop your leadership skills?
At CareRight, we believe some of our future leaders are already delivering outstanding care every day. Our Lead Community Carer role is an exciting opportunity to build on your experience while continuing to make a real difference to the lives of our clients.
You'll continue delivering high-quality, person-centred care while also supporting colleagues, mentoring new carers and helping the service run smoothly.
For the right person, this is a genuine pathway towards future supervisory and management opportunities.
The Role
As a Lead Community Carer, you'll work closely with our care and office teams to help ensure clients receive safe, reliable and consistent care.
This is a varied role where no two days are the same. Flexibility is essential. Domiciliary care can be unpredictable, and there will be times when you are needed to provide short-notice support due to sickness, emergencies or unexpected changes to the rota.
