Care Team Leader
Care Team Leader
Team Leader
Cherry Tree House, Wendover
Help us redefine what ageing can look like.
At Salveo Care, we believe growing older should never mean giving up the things that bring life meaning. We believe in supporting people to stay active, maintain their independence, remain connected to the people they love, and continue living with purpose.
We're a family-owned care provider with roots in our local community, and we're passionate about challenging perceptions of ageing. We believe care should enable living, not simply support people when they can no longer do things for themselves.
This is an exciting time to join us. While you'll initially be based at our well established home Cherry Tree House, we're preparing to open Wendover Manor later this year, a brand-new, purpose-built and wellness-led care home that will create exciting opportunities for career progression and development as we continue to grow.
If you're looking for more than just your next job, we'd love to hear from you.
About this role
As a Team Leader, you'll play a key role in creating a safe, welcoming and positive environment where residents receive exceptional care and your team feel supported.
You'll lead by example on shift, ensuring high standards are maintained while supporting the day-to-day running of the home. Your responsibilities will include:
Leading and coordinating shifts.
Administering and overseeing medication safely.
Supporting, mentoring and developing the care team.
Reviewing care plans, risk assessments and daily documentation.
Completing audits and quality checks to maintain excellent standards.
Liaising with residents, families and healthcare professionals.
Responding calmly and confidently to changing priorities throughout the day.
Helping to create meaningful moments that enhance residents' wellbeing and quality of life.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for someone who leads with kindness, integrity and confidence.
You'll be passionate about delivering exceptional care, naturally encourage those around you, and understand that the smallest details can make the biggest difference to a resident's day.
You'll ideally have previous experience as a Senior Care Assistant or Team Leader, be confident administering medication and leading shifts, and hold (or be willing to work towards) a Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care.
More importantly, we're looking for someone who shares our values. Someone who believes older people deserve extraordinary lives and wants to be part of making that happen.
WHY SALVEO CARE?
We know there are lots of care providers you could work for.
What makes us different isn't just our beautiful home or our exciting plans - it's our people and our purpose.
At Salveo Care, we're committed to creating a future where ageing is about living. We challenge ourselves to continually improve, not because we have to, but because it's the right thing to do for our residents, their families and each other.
When you join Salveo Care, you'll become part of a supportive, values-driven team that genuinely cares about helping people grow.
You'll benefit from:
Excellent opportunities for career progression, including exciting new roles as we prepare to open Wendover Manor later this year.
Ongoing training and leadership development to help you reach your potential.
Staff meals on shift.
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offering confidential wellbeing and support services.
