Your Role
Through understanding the needs of the people you support, you’ll provide exceptional care that truly changes lives. A career with meaning, you’ll also have a lot of fun, too – from helping with daily tasks to leading a team to make a difference.
Provide leadership to colleagues within the team and support the Service Manager in the daily management & running of the service.

Your Service
Whiteheathers is a friendly, warm bungalow in a quiet coastal town. Everyone who lives here has their own private space to make their own and are encouraged to get involved in making decisions about their home; how communal areas can be transformed into fun new spaces, what’s on the meal plan each week, and what activities make up their busy social calendar.
Your Values
You will already have experience in the social care sector (Senior Support Worker, Team Leader or Senior Care Assistant) but your values are most important to us. Values influence every interaction between our colleagues and the people we support. They are a promise that:
We will always act with kindness.
Stay committed to the people who rely on us.
Embrace creativity in the way we work and grow.
Next Steps
Once you’ve applied our dedicated in-house recruitment team will call to share more about the role.
The next step will be an interview in the service, where you’ll meet the team and the people we support.
If successful, we’ll organise your Free DBS Check and references prior to confirming your start date.
Your journey will then begin with a 3-day online induction, before heading to the service to get started.
At Consensus, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse work environment where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
