Established in 2016 and based in Warmley, Bristol, this company specialises in providing high quality live-in care to adults across the south of England.

About the role:
As Assistant Care & Training Manger you’ll support the Care and Training Manager in the efficient running of both functions to a high standard within the business.

Then you’ll be liaising with clients, stakeholders and other care professionals in the course of promoting client wellbeing. As part of the care team you’ll work closely with the care resource allocator to ensure a continuously high level of service.
To do all this well you’ll need the ability to communicate effectively with clients, their families, care staff and other health and social care professionals in an inclusive, enabling and empowering way.
