Senior Carer
Commutable from Clitheroe, Burnley, Blackburn, Accrington, Darwen, Colne & surrounding areas
A newly opened, high-spec care home is building its senior team from the ground up, offering experienced Senior Carers the opportunity to help shape standards, culture, and day-to-day practice from the very beginning.
This is a chance to be part of something new, without the chaos that often comes with inherited problems.
The home is modern, purpose-built, and currently supporting a small number of residents, allowing care to be delivered properly.
Unhurried, person-centred, and values-led.
The role itself will feel familiar: leading shifts, supporting care staff, overseeing care delivery, and acting as a role model on the floor.
What makes this different is the emphasis on ethos, teamwork, and getting things right early, rather than firefighting.
Strong leadership support, clear expectations, and paid breaks are part of the package.
What's on offer:
£13.75 per hour
40 hours per week, across 7 days
12-hour shifts (8am-8pm)
Opportunities for days, nights, or flexibility across both
Paid lunch breaks
4-weekly pay (13 payments per year)
Option to pick up additional shifts
Small resident numbers initially, with the home growing steadily
The opportunity to grow with the service as it develops
This role suits someone who has experience as a Senior Carer or is confidently ready to step into a senior position and wants consistency, support, and the chance to make a genuine impact.
If you're an experienced Senior Carer based in or around Clitheroe, Burnley, Blackburn, Accrington, Darwen, Colne or the wider Ribble Valley, this is a role worth exploring.

Registered Service Manager - Care at Home
Highlands
Hospital discharge pressure and social care reform are back in the headlines, and the focus is clear.
People need to be supported safely at home, with services that can respond quickly and consistently.
If care at home is where your experience sits, and you are comfortable running a service that changes hour by hour, this is a role where your judgement has real impact across Highland communities.
The role is based from an office around 14 miles north of Inverness, leading an established rural care at home service covering wide geography and varied logistics.
This is operational leadership in its truest sense.
Care at home is the core.
Rotas that shift daily.
Lone worker oversight.
Care plans that must stay live.
Decisions that cannot wait for tomorrow.
The service currently delivers around 700 hours of care per week, with a clear and realistic ambition to grow beyond 1,000 hours sustainably.
The team includes 26 care practitioners, with plans to build above 30, supported by a Care Coordinator and Team Leads.
You hold registered responsibility and act as the operational anchor for the service.
Picture a working week where responsibility is clear and visible.
Care plans that reflect people's lives as they are now, not how they looked months ago.
Recruitment, retention, supervision and performance that protect standards and steady the rota.
Relationships that matter, including commissioners and health and social care partners across the region.
Quality assurance that stands up to inspection and leads to genuine improvement, not paperwork for its own sake.
The sector is evolving.
Investment, reform and workforce focus are reshaping how care at home is delivered in Scotland.
If building a stable, compliant service through change appeals to you, this environment will feel familiar.
What will help you succeed.
Several years working within care at home services, not just social care more broadly.
Leadership experience managing multiple priorities in a live operational setting.
Confidence with regulation, inspection standards, documentation and stakeholder engagement.
A full UK driving licence and access to a car.
Qualifications
A professional qualification in health, social work or a related field at SCQF Level 9.
A Leadership and Management qualification at SCQF Level 10, or a clear commitment to complete.
SVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care, or readiness to move quickly towards it.
A competitive salary is offered, aligned to experience.
Right to work in the UK and a PVG check are required.
Sponsorship may be available for the right background, although care at home experience remains essential.
Relocation is achievable for those moving to the Highlands, with open discussion around housing and potential temporary accommodation support during the transition.
If your background is firmly rooted in care at home and you are ready to take registered responsibility for a rural Highlands service, send your CV to Recruitment Panda, even if it is not up to date, or call Tim the Principal Consultant working closely with this employer.

Home Manager - North Wales
Salary up to £50,000 Permanent or interim considered
This is a home that is already running well.
Occupancy is high.
Staffing levels are solid.
Compliance is where it should be.
There are no outstanding regulatory concerns and no inherited issues waiting to surface.
What's needed now is experienced leadership to provide stability, continuity and confidence.
The service is privately owned and operates as a single home, not part of a wider group.
Decisions are made close to the service.
Standards matter.
Reputation matters.
The right manager will understand the responsibility that comes with being trusted to run a home that people care deeply about.
You'll be expected to manage, not just maintain.
That means taking full responsibility for the day-to-day operation of a nursing home, leading an established team and working confidently with CIW.
There is a strong Clinical Lead in place, alongside experienced care and administrative support, so this is a collaborative environment rather than a lone post.
This opportunity can be approached in two ways.
For the right individual, this could be a long-term appointment.
Equally, the owners are open to an experienced manager stepping in on an interim basis for an initial 6 to 12 months, providing stability and leadership during a transitional period.
What matters most is capability and fit, not forcing a rigid structure.
Nursing qualification is important (not essential), as is registration with Social Care Wales and a proven track record managing nursing services.
This role may not be suitable for a Deputy looking to step up.
It requires someone who already understands the demands, judgement calls and accountability that come with holding the manager's position.
This is a family-owned home, with ownership that remains close and invested.
The successful manager will be trusted to run the service day to day, while being comfortable operating in an environment where care and standards are taken personally.
Salary is flexible up to £50,000 depending on experience.
The focus is on finding the right professional rather than filling a vacancy quickly.
If you value stability, professionalism and being judged on outcomes rather than noise, this is a role worth exploring.
Confidential conversations welcomed.
Apply in confidence with a CV (even if its not up to date) or call Tim, the Principal Consultant working closely with this employer.

Deputy Manager (Nurse Qualified)Gwynedd, North Wales Coast
Not every nurse wants to become a manager. Some want to become better at leading.
This role exists for that reason.
It sits within a dementia specialist nursing service that values calm clinical judgement, steady leadership and relationships built over time.
A new Home Manager has recently stepped into post, bringing warmth, openness and a genuine belief that good leadership starts with how people are treated day to day.
The next step is finding a Deputy who wants to stand alongside that, not underneath it.
You'll still use your nursing skills here.
Regularly.
Meaningfully.
This is not a desk role in disguise.
Your presence matters on the floor, in handovers, and in the moments where clinical decisions carry weight.
For Senior Nurses or Clinical Leads who are already mentoring others, leading shifts, shaping care standards and being relied upon when things feel complex, much of this role will already feel familiar.
The difference is having the space, support and title to do it properly.
You'll support nurses and care staff who want guidance rather than oversight.
You'll be trusted with care planning, medication governance and clinical risk, and you'll step in confidently when leadership is needed because it makes sense, not because it's your turn.
This isn't a stepping-stone role dressed up as progression. It's a partnership.
Joining a leadership team while it's still forming is rare.
Standards are high, but the tone is being set now.
Culture is being shaped now.
The right Deputy will have a voice, not just responsibilities.
You'll need to be NMC registered, with experience in older people's or dementia care.
You'll need to be the kind of nurse colleagues naturally turn to.
What you won't need is bravado.
The salary sits at between £40k to £45k.
Support is real.
Development is encouraged.
And the pace allows you to lead without losing the clinical identity that brought you into nursing in the first place.
If you're quietly curious, that's usually the right place to start.
Confidential conversations welcomed.
Apply in confidence with a CV (even if it is not up to date) or call Tim the Principal Consultant working closely with this employer.

Home Manager North Wales Commutable from Chester, Wrexham, Wirral and the North West Coast
January has a habit of making people take stock.
Fresh pages.
Clearer standards.
Less tolerance for noise and more respect for leadership that actually holds.
If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “I could run a home better than this,” this may be the moment that thought deserves your attention.
This opportunity sits within a well-established, purpose-built residential service in North Wales.
It is stable, regulated and deeply rooted in its local community.
Recently, the service has been acquired by a successful and well-established dementia specialist provider, bringing fresh investment, renewed focus and a clear long-term vision.
What makes that significant is timing.
The foundations are already in place.
The home is known locally.
The team understands its residents.
What's now needed is a manager who can take what exists and lead it confidently into its next chapter, shaping standards, culture and practice under new ownership without losing the identity that made the service work in the first place.
This is a role with full accountability.
Care quality, compliance, culture, people and performance all sit with you.
CIW standards will already be second nature.
Leadership here is not about hovering or micromanaging.
It's about setting expectations, developing people and knowing when to step in and when to trust the team you've shaped.
This is not a turnaround and it is not a rescue mission. It is stewardship, with the opportunity to influence the direction of a home as it enters a new era.
You may already be operating as a Registered Manager, or you may be a highly credible Deputy who no longer wants to wait for the right door to open.
You'll be comfortable with governance, confident in front of inspectors and steady when pressure builds.
You'll know how to lead nurses and care teams with authority and empathy, keeping a home both compliant and human.
There is genuine autonomy attached to this post, supported by senior leadership that understands its role is to enable rather than interfere.
The salary reflects the responsibility.
The expectations are clear.
The opportunity to leave a lasting imprint is real.
For candidates based in Chester, Wrexham, the Wirral or along the North Wales coast, the commute works.
More importantly, the role will too, if you're ready to guide a good home into its next phase of growth.
For more information, apply in confidence with a CV (even if if its not up to date) or call Tim, the Principal Consultant working closely with this employer.
