About the role

We’re excited to offer a unique opportunity for a Female Team Leader* to join our dedicated team on a part-time basis, supporting one lady in her own home.

As a Team Leader, you’ll play a key role in guiding a small, committed team to deliver exceptional, person-centred care. You’ll provide supervision, coaching, and on-shift support to ensure tasks are completed efficiently and in line with our core values.

• You understand and champion person-centred practice
• You’re skilled in coaching and mentoring colleagues
• You have excellent communication skills, including handling sensitive information
• A UK driving licence is desirable
