What you’ll be doing as a Senior Live-in Carer (Rapid Responder):
Rapid Response carers are able to assess and improve client care plans to enhance wellbeing and service satisfaction; this could involve starting a new care package at short notice and developing care strategies to stabilise the placement before handing over to a carer colleague, or supporting an existing client placement for short term cover whilst proactively evaluating and improving the service in that placement.

- SVQ Level 2 qualification or above in health and social care

This role requires total flexibility with regards to the acceptance of placements outside of our holiday and sickness-absence policies.
