7. On-Call Duties – Responding to emergencies and ensuring last-minute care needs are met
8. Team Development – Supporting new and existing carers, assisting with induction, and promoting a culture of professional growth

6. Health and Social Care qualifications (NVQ/QCF Level 3 preferred)
7. IT and office skills – you’ll be using scheduling systems, emails, and spreadsheets
