Looking for your next step in care? Join our amazing team and lead the way!

At Holly Lodge, we’re searching for an experienced Senior Care Assistant (Nights) to help guide our incredible care team and support our residents in living happy, healthy and independent lives. If you’ve got experience in care and have previously helped to supervise a team, this could be the perfect role for you.

What’s the job about?

As a Senior Carer, you’ll combine hands-on care with supervisory duties. It’s all about ensuring that every resident receives the very best care while mentoring and supporting your colleagues to be their best. Here’s a flavour of what you’ll be doing:

  • Coaching and mentoring your team so they’re confident and skilled in every part of their role.
  • Supporting residents with a range of personal care needs, while making sure dignity, respect and privacy are always maintained.
  • Ensuring every resident has a comprehensive and up-to-date care plan that reflects their needs, and making sure your team follows it to the letter.
  • Dispensing medication with accuracy and care, keeping detailed records as you go.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
