Hi.
I HAVE AN EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY, CAN YOU POSSIBLY HELP, OR SHARE THIS MESSAGE ?
- Thank you -
I am on the lookout for a new CARE TEAM LEADER for a supported living home in Rishton, accommodation adults with learning disabilities.
I started the company in 1986
(yes 40 years ago, earlier we had a celebration party to mark the occasion)
Anyway, thinking about now and the future.
This vacancy is open to anyone who has the following skill set and something that's described as having everyday transferable skills.
Please apply if you -
:: look forward to a job that changes everyday in some way or another.
:: can get the best out of coworkers who will be within the CARE TEAM you will lead.
:: can relate to adults with learning disabilities in such a way that you make their day special, even an ordinary day you help make worth getting up for.
:: service users are out and about all the time, and have their own cars so you need to be able to drive a manual car.
:: in any single day you will encounter any of the following experiences
• supporting staff undertake their duties
• report and feedback matters of relevance to your Care Team Manager or the Service Registered Manager.
• help someone in your care with personal hygiene needs, or making sure food and drinks are taken and enjoyed in a respectful calming environment.
• to communicate with or alongside various health and social care professionals.
• maintain the 40 years reputation of the company and be proud of yourself at the end of each day.
• keep a close eye and monitor service users care and health needs, and spending, accounting for every pound spent as per established policy and procedures.
• you MUST engage and enjoy a GOOD LAUGH.
• the work is challenging but never give up or accept half measures.
Do you get the idea ?
If you haven't care qualifications that's fine, the right person can be trained up to manage everything that's thrown at you.
Naturally there's lots more such as some IT skills, but to attract your interest, I thought this post would be enough for you to apply.
It's all my own words, no hiding behind a colourful glossy AI generated advert.
Find out exactly who HIGHFIELD SERVICES are and how we provide the care and support to some amazing people.
We don't do things by half measures, if you hadn't already guessed.
Care Team Leaders have some additional perks to the job, all shifts are on days, it's a full time responsibility between 36 - 40 hours.
Overtime is available if you were hoping for more hours by covering sick or holiday leave from colleagues.
In almost all teams (you just have one of ten) you can influence your shift patterns.
For all my staff they benefit from having rotas that are a six week repeat schedule.
Days out, attending shows, sports or community centres, trips, holidays with service users are a pleasure and just part of all employees role and responsibilities.
It's paid work too !
I contribute to the house weekly shopping which enables you to eat with everyone, and the kettle is on constantly !!
Honestly it's the BEST job ever, just ask anyone that works for the company already.
We are very family oriented, we take on the needs that you will be asking for some flexibility with your shifts.
You might want that special afternoon off for the children's sports day,
or if not at school yet their first day needs you to drop them off and pick up to hear of all their excitement.
You might have an elderly person who you need that time off to take to an appointment.
We understand and we see your commitment to your family and friends important, and one you will replicate in your work too.
Application packs can be picked up ( office hours ) from THE BASE, our daycare and community centre on Queen Street. Great Harwood.BB6 7AT
We can post or email a pack, send your details to.
