We are a charity that provides loving, compassionate care and support to veterans and their families, both in our Homes and through services that reach into the wider community. Following our recent merger with the Armed Forces charity Care for Veterans in Worthing, we’re looking for a skilled and motivated Shift Leader.
The right candidate will ensure that, at all times, residents are treated with respect and dignity and that individuals’ rights to privacy, independence and choice are met with kindness and compassion. You will also manage the day to day provision of care as an integrated member of a multi-disciplinary care team, leading the floor when the nurse is engaged elsewhere and providing high quality personal care to all residents according to their needs and expectations.
As a Shift Leader, you will be responsible for providing effective performance management, support and guidance to your team as described in the Royal Star & Garter Performance Management Policy, supervise the floor, ensuring that HCA activity reflects organisational policies, values and behaviours, conduct preliminary investigations into incidents with residents, grievance and disciplinary cases, organise the work roster for your team, coordinating with other shift leaders and nurses to ensure the appropriate number of staff are on duty with the appropriate skills mix.
We’re looking for someone who has a strong commitment to nursing the elderly and providing the highest standards of care to enable residents to live their lives as fully and independently as possible. It is about recognising that each person is an individual and adapting one’s own approach accordingly.
