The Housing Plus Group is a strong, resilient and effective provider of homes and care services throughout Shropshire and Staffordshire, with 12,000 homes, 25,000 customers and 600 employees. The Group has ambitious plans to build more homes and provide even better choice for our customers and communities.

Care Plus is a leading housing and support services provider in South Staffordshire and Shropshire. We help older people and others with disabilities or health conditions, to live independent and fulfilling lives. As well as providing good quality housing for older people, we deliver care tailored specifically to individual needs. We offer wellbeing support services to help people get more out of life. Our benchmark for success is whether we have made a difference to our customers’ lives. Providing you with care and support services that you can trust means that you can concentrate on what is really important; making the most of life every single day.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an aspiring Team Leader to join our team based in Perton,  to support and monitor the delivery of care and support services within an extra care scheme.

In this role you will be required to provide field support, supervision, leadership and training to care workers. Additionally, you will ensure that client needs and the risks associated with providing care are properly assessed, documented and acted upon and that your team promotes the independence, dignity, rights and choices of the people that we work with.

With previous experience in providing a care service for people, you will have ideally held a supervisory role and hold an NVQ 3 in Care (or equivalent experience). We’re looking for you to have commitment to and understanding of good customer service, be willing to commit to further training and have the ability to demonstrate discretion and confidentiality at all times.

Due to the nature of the role you will participate in the on-call rota providing 24-hour emergency cover and hold a Full UK/EU Driving Licence and have access to a car.
