Already an experienced carer and ready for the next step? This is a Team Leader role at our Maidenhead and Windsor branch, covering Maidenhead, Windsor, Slough, Taplow, Eton and the surrounding area.
Most of your week is out on the road with a regular caseload of your own. The rest is the team leader side: supporting newer carers, covering the office phones, helping with training, and taking your turn on the on-call rota. We opened in September 2025, so this is still a young branch and you'll need to be happy to roll your sleeves up, helping build the service rather than stepping into something that's already up and running.
What you'll get
£16.00 per hour weekday and £18.00 per hour weekend for your care calls, plus 45p per mile
£14.00 per hour for office time, training and team leader work
At least 60% of your stated availability guaranteed as paid hours, every four-week pay period. Real security, not zero-hours
If we can't fill your guaranteed hours with care calls we find you other paid work, and any remaining shortfall is still paid
A place on the on-call rota with an additional payment, and any visits you cover while on call paid on top
Full-time hours
Fully paid training and holiday pay
Funded qualifications and genuine progression, including Level
3. We promote from within
Free virtual GP access for you and your family, 365 days a year
Blue Light Card and employee discount scheme
Company pension, referral bonuses and paid volunteer days
Supportive, friendly management who are there when you need them
What you'll do
Deliver care calls across the Maidenhead, Windsor and Slough patch, with a regular caseload of your own
Cover gaps, sickness and short-notice changes. This is a real part of the job
Support and buddy newer carers out in the field
Cover the office phones when the Registered Manager or Director is out
Help with inductions, shadow shifts and training
Take your turn on the on-call rota
Keep an eye on care plans and flag when something has changed
What we're looking for
Experience in domiciliary care, and ready to step up
Available to start between 7am and 8am, and to work every other weekend. This is essential, it's when our clients need us
Able to keep your stated availability open at least three days ahead, so we can plan your work properly
A Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care, or a willingness to work towards it. We'll support you
Someone other carers will happily ring when they're stuck
A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
The right to work in the UK. We're not able to offer sponsorship
Willingness to complete an Enhanced Adult DBS check
