Team Manager

Bluebird Care Mid & West Cornwall provides care at home across Mid and West Cornwall, helping people stay safe, well and independent in the place they love most. We are rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, and our Support Workers deliver everything from short visits and companionship through to live-in care and complex health needs.
We are looking for a Team Manager to join us at the heart of our care team. This is a varied role, split between the community and our Truro office. You will report to the Area Manager.
You will:
• Cover care shifts on the rota, delivering safe, person-centred care
• Lead, supervise and mentor a team of Support Workers
• Carry out supervisions, spot checks, observations and performance reviews
• Help with assessments, care plan reviews and risk assessments
• Audit care records, medication charts and care notes
• Respond to concerns and incidents promptly and openly
• Make sure we meet CQC regulations and our own high standards
• Build good relationships with customers, families and other professionals
• Take part in the shared on-call rota
Good care depends on good leadership, and the best leaders know the work first-hand. Because you will still be with customers yourself, your guidance will be practical, your feedback fair and your support real.

You love hands-on care, you set a high standard, and you want to help others do it well. You might already be a team leader, field supervisor or senior Support Worker, or leading a team in supported living or live-in care. You will need: • Experience of working in care at home or a community care setting • A Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care, or willingness to work towards it • A good understanding of person-centred care and regulatory standards • Strong leadership skills and the ability to motivate a team • Excellent communication and organisation skills • Confidence working alone and making decisions • Willingness to take part in the on-call rota • A full UK driving licence and access to a reliable vehicle • The right to work in the UK. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role 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. 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.

Behind every task is a person. One morning you might be supporting a customer with their morning routine. That afternoon you could be in the Truro office reviewing a care plan, or out carrying out a spot check. The next day you might sit with a new Support Worker after a difficult visit, or make sure a customer’s care keeps up with their changing needs. It is a role where your experience is valued and your voice is heard.
