    Team Leader
    Heathcotes Group-Manchester

    I was an team leader of a small team and supported service users in their own home.
    Team Leader
    CareTech-Leigh
    February 2021 to September 2021
    I was an Team Leader in a supported living unit with service users with mental health. I managed a team
    of 25 staff who work over a 24 hour period I managed staff sickness and annual leave. I implemented
    rotas and ensured the service was Well staffed, I completed all the audits and monitored medication and
    finances. I updated risk assessments and care plans , i attended reviews and liaised with stakeholders
    on a regular basis. I did weekly and monthly reporting as well as service development plans and ensured
    all paperwork was updated and in place. There was an effective induction process where carers would
    complete training and read policies and procedures , they would then go on to shadowing. I completed
    staff supervisions and appraisals and ensured all staff where trained and if needed further guidance they
    where booked into training to improve their knowledge and awareness .Once they completed training
    they where able to support the service users in a person-centred way. My role was to ensure that the
    service was well led and all staff where happy and confident within their job role and also ensured that
    all service users where happy and all their needs where being met.
    Senior support worker
    Stockdales-Sale
    March 2015 to February 2021
    As a senior support worker, I have been able to work in a number of the residential homes, in the
    residential homes I was a shift leader and supported adults with complex needs and learning disabilities
    who require 24/7care. Throughout this role, I ensured all paperwork was completed and ensured person
    centred plans where updated while taking the lead om organising residents meetings and providing the
    activity plans where completed for the month.
    For the last three years of working at stockdales, I was part of the community services (day centre) team,
    within this period was a shift leader ensuring the day ran smoothly and all the service users who have
    attended received person-centred care and have had all of their needs met. This could be anything from
    needing medication, dietary needs to be met, peg feeding or suction. Or needing help with managing
    their behaviours and using breakaway techniques while ensuring the client is safe and well.
    Within the sessions, the service user attends classes such as music, cookery, yoga, trampolining, quite
    often teachers are not able to come in. It is then your responsibility to teach this lesson as well as be the
    shift leader. This requires us to be flexible and transferable with our skills.
    I was asked to be part of the children’s club, which was being run on a Saturday. I was able to take
    on more training to be able to be updated with the current legislation with childcare and to be able to
    work effectively. This has been an exciting project and led in us doing domiciliary care for children in
    the evening too.
    This role has also required me to take a different set of service users out at the weekend who only attend
    one day a week to go on trips. This has also been an experience which has enabled to be successful
    within my role.
