Job Description:

Trainee Care Manager – Live-in Care Services

We are seeking a Trainee Care Manager to join our dedicated team and help shape the future of community-based care. In this professional and varied role, you will assume responsibility for a caseload of clients with complex care requirements, ensuring that each individual's needs are assessed, understood, and met with diligence, respect, and empathy.

The role is perfect for an individual who cares and is particularly passionate about keeping people in their homes when support is needed. You will report to the registered manager who will provide both guidance and support where needed. You will work in a team of 3 care managers, a scheduler, and will be supported by a training, recruitment, finance, and hourly care team. Do you want to escape the corporate world and join a team that loves what they do? This could be the place for you.

About ENA

The original live-in service was founded in 1994 by Clare and Claudio Duran. Both remain deeply involved in the business and take pride in fostering a positive, supportive work environment. Despite challenges such as Brexit and COVID-19, we have remained resilient and are now focused on restoring growth and stability for both our employees and clients. Our vision is to provide exceptional carers for all client needs, including those requiring clinical support.

• Identify and implement strategies to improve service quality, client satisfaction, and team performance.
• Work closely with other teams to explore opportunities for growth, service improvement, and innovation.
• Ensure CQC compliance at all times.

Manifest and radiate the core of the very essence of Care:

• Act as a key point of contact for clients and families, ensuring a tailored, compassionate approach to care.
• Building relationships with clients, families, carers, and professionals.
• Using instinct and intuition to lead.
• Learning the essence and branding of our company and helping us to maintain the individuality and uniqueness of our mission.

Requirements

• Level 3 NVQ in Health and Social Care (desirable but not essential).
• Minimum 2 years of management experience in a care setting, in community-based care (desirable but not essential).
• Comprehensive knowledge of CQC regulations and safeguarding policies.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Collaborative team player with a flexible, adaptable approach to an ever-changing industry.
• RMN/RGN registration is preferred but open to considering otherwise.
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary of £23,000 - £28,000 per annum, depending on experience.
• BUPA Cashback plan.
• Mileage included.
• 32 days paid annual leave (including bank holidays).
• Loyalty annual leave (up to 5 additional days).
• Comprehensive training and professional development opportunities.
• Hybrid working options (dependent on location).
• Career progression opportunities to Care Manager Position.

This is an exciting opportunity for a driven Trainee Care Manager to take ownership of a vital service, ensuring excellence in care while shaping its future direction. If you are a motivated individual with a passion for high-quality care, we would love to hear from you.
