Job Type:

About Us:
At Comfort Circle Care Recruitment, we are redefining healthcare staffing. We don’t just fill rotas; we deploy high-intelligence, resilient leadership assets into residential homes, supported living, and complex care environments. As an agency founded on quality and compliance, we treat our Senior Support Workers as vital clinical partners, offering excellent pay rates, consistent block-bookings, and robust professional backing.
The Role:
Are you an experienced Lead Carer or Senior Support Worker who is tired of being undervalued? We are recruiting elite Senior Support Workers / Team Leaders to take charge of shifts, manage care teams, and oversee complex packages for our premier clients across the region.
You will step into services—frequently specializing in Autism, Learning Disabilities, and Mental Health—to provide operational stability, mentor junior staff, manage medications, and ensure absolute CQC compliance on the floor.
Key Responsibilities:
*Shift Leadership: Take accountability for the smooth running of shifts, delegating tasks effectively to junior support staff.
*Complex Case Management: Oversee the implementation of person-centred care plans and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) strategies.
*Medication Administration: Safely manage, audit, and administer medications in strict accordance with local policies and CQC guidelines.
*Crisis De-escalation: Act as the lead point of contact for managing challenging behaviours, ensuring safety and emotional regulation.
*Reporting & Auditing: Complete high-quality shift logs, incident reports, and risk assessments to present to Registered Managers.
What We Are Looking For:
*Qualifications: NVQ/QCF Level 3 in Health and Social Care (or equivalent leadership experience) is highly desirable.
*Experience: Minimum of 12–24 months of proven experience in a UK senior care or team leader role, ideally dealing with complex behaviour or learning disabilities.
*Compliance: An active Enhanced DBS (ideally on the Update Service) and a solid understanding of CQC standards.
*Skills: Strong medication administration experience and verifiable training in physical intervention or advanced de-escalation (e.g., PMVA, MAPA, MAYBO) is a massive advantage.
*Logistics: Excellent command of English, reliable time-management, and the flexibility to cover varied shift patterns. A UK Driving License with access to a vehicle is highly preferred.
Why Join Comfort Circle Care as a Leader?
*Premium Premium Pay: Top-tier weekly pay every Friday, recognizing your advanced skill set and responsibilities.
*Guaranteed Continuity: Priority access to long-term block-bookings and fixed rotas, allowing you to establish stability in a service.
*Professional Growth: Direct support from a dedicated healthcare recruitment consultant to map out your career progression.
*Fast-Track Compliance: If your DBS is on the Update Service and your training is current, we can get you out on shift inside 48 hours.
