Job Description
Senior Care Professional
Full-Time | Permanent
Salary: £28,000 – £30,000 per year (including on-call allowance)
Areas Covered: Leatherhead, Ashtead, Fetcham, Bookham and surrounding areas
This role is for someone who cares deeply — not just about clients, but about the people who care for them.
We’re looking for two experienced, compassionate Senior Care Professionals who want to lead by example, support others to be their best, and help shape a service where dignity, kindness, and quality are never compromised.
If you believe great care starts with strong, supported teams — this could feel like home.
A Role With Purpose
As a Senior Care Professional, you’ll be a reassuring presence in the field — offering guidance, encouragement, and leadership to Care Professionals while continuing to deliver hands-on care yourself. You’ll work closely with the Registered Care Manager, helping ensure care remains safe, personal, and consistently high-quality.
This is a role where your voice matters, your experience is trusted, and your care sets the tone for others.
Around half of your time will be spent delivering care directly to clients, keeping you connected to what truly matters, while the rest focuses on mentoring, quality checks, and supporting smooth day-to-day operations.
Working Pattern & Pay
We believe structure and fairness help people thrive.
Working pattern (alternating weeks):
Week 1: Monday to Friday
Week 2: Monday, Thursday to Sunday
Shift options:
7:00am – 2:30pm
3:00pm – 10:30pm
On-call:
Alternate weeks, 10:30pm – 7:00am
£150 paid per four-week period for on-call duties
Salary:
£28,028 per annum, with additional on-call allowance
How You’ll Make a Difference

Supporting and coaching Care Professionals in the field
Carrying out spot checks, observations, and competency reviews
Helping maintain high standards of care and best practice
Supporting client assessments and reviews when needed
Acting as a calm, senior presence during on-call periods
Being a role model for respectful, dignified, person-centred care
You’ll also represent the service in the community with pride, professionalism, and compassion — helping build trust with clients, families, and colleagues alike.
You’ll Be Fully Supported
You won’t be expected to step into this role alone. You’ll complete a comprehensive 12-week induction and onboarding programme, designed to help you feel confident, capable, and supported.
This includes:
A warm introduction to the organisation’s values and culture
Guidance on safeguarding, equality, and person-centred care
Training in observation, competency checks, and professional feedback
