At Holly Lodge, we’re looking for a Senior Care Practitioner to help guide our incredible care team and support our residents in living happy, healthy, and independent lives. 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, and making sure your team follows it to the letter.

Dispensing medication with accuracy and care, keeping detailed records as you go.

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.
