It would be great if you also have supervisory experience, an understanding of homecare and live-in care, and experience of care plan reviews, risk assessments or auditing records.

You might already be a team leader, field supervisor or senior Support Worker, or leading a team in supported living or live-in care. If you are ready for a role where your experience is valued and your voice is heard, we want to hear from you.

We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role. DBS checks and references will be carried out in line with government regulations and recruitment best practice. Bluebird Care Mid & West Cornwall is an equal opportunities employer.
