  • Carry out risk assessments with care, clarity and professionalism.
  • Support on-call duties in line with the branch rota.

What you’ll bring

  • Experience as a Care Assistant and a desire to take the next step in your career.
  • A full, clean UK driving licence and access to a roadworthy, insured vehicle.
  • Strong communication skills and a supportive, encouraging approach to working with others.
  • A keen eye for detail and confidence in maintaining compliance and quality standards.
  • A people-first mindset – calm, kind and ready to lead by example.
