As the team leader, you will be the go-to go person who will get in touch with all our clients at their homes and with our lovely carers who are doing their best to take care of the clients.

Being a team leader, you will create a role model by leading and supervising our team of carers by working alongside them and completing regular staff assessments in clients’ homes.

Main duties:

• Maintain professional relationships with all our clients, ensuring that safe, professional, and efficient service is offered to them.
• Monitor the client’s well-being, and medication needs and liaise with multidisciplinary teams
• Mentoring the care team: advising them and helping them when needed
• Taking part in the on-call route: 2 weeks every month where you will be answering phone calls and giving advice to care staff and clients and their families during out- office hours and weekends for an extra payment.
• Promote the professional image of the company and services through appropriate behavior, excellent communication, and professional appearance.

We are looking for you if you have:

• Good organizational and communication skills

• Adequate IT skills
• Good phone manners
• The ability to resolve problems in a professional and timely manner
• If you have a natural ability to help, make the lives of others more fulfilling
• If you want to work in an environment where the work can be hard, but also fun and rewarding.
