Full Job Description

As a Senior Carer, you'll combine hands-on care with team leader duties. It's all about ensuring that every resident receives the very best care while mentoring and supporting your colleagues to be their best. Here's a flavour of what you'll be doing:

  • Coaching and mentoring your team so they're confident and skilled in every part of their role.
  • Supporting residents with a range of personal care needs, while making sure dignity, respect, and privacy are always maintained.
  • Ensuring every resident has a comprehensive and up-to-date care plan that reflects their needs.
  • Dispensing medication with accuracy and care, keeping detailed records as you go.
  • This role is a mix of hands-on care and supervisory responsibilities, so you'll need to feel comfortable juggling tasks while always keeping our residents' happiness and wellbeing at the heart of what you do.

    We're looking for someone with experience working in a care home or similar environment, and ideally, you'll already have experience supervising and mentoring a team. You'll also need a Health and Social Care qualification (Level 3) or the commitment to work towards one. If you're caring, organised, and ready to step into a senior role at Mariposa Care, we'd love to hear from you!, If you're offered a role with us, it will be conditional on some standard checks, like references and a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. We also need you to have good English and numeracy skills, plus a passion for caring and helping our residents to thrive.

    Plus enjoy lots of great benefits when you join the Mariposa Care family.

    You'll be part of a friendly, supportive team where everyone's voice matters, and you'll have plenty of chances to develop your skills and progress in your career. Why join us? We know how important our Senior Carers are, so we make sure you feel appreciated and supported. Here's what we offer:
  • Great pay with enhanced overtime rates (+£2 p/h)
  • £500 in recognition payments during your first year with us.
  • Unlimited £1,000 'Refer a Friend' bonus.
  • Fully funded training and qualifications-including opportunities to develop your leadership skills.
  • Annual pay reviews-we recognise your contributions.
  • Private healthcare options to help with costs like dental or optical treatments.
  • A caring, supportive workplace where you can thrive.
  • What next? If you're ready to take the next step in your care career, supervise an amazing team and make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
