Make a Real Difference as a Care Team Manager. Lead with Compassion. Are you an experienced care professional to take the next step in your career? Want to work in a Team Manager role where your leadership truly impacts lives every single day?

At St Elizabeth Care Agency, our aim is to provide high-quality, tailor‑made services to clients living in their own homes. We support adults (18+) who, for various reasons, are unable to manage certain aspects of daily life or access the community. All profits made by the agency are donated to the Hospice to further its work to improve life for people living with a progressive illness.

We’re proudly rated ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) — and we’re looking for a new Team Leader to help us continue delivering exceptional community care across Woodbridge, Ipswich, and the surrounding areas.

• "To work in a supportive team where I feel valued. Knowing that I contribute to making a positive difference in people’s lives, not only to our clients but also to the individuals and families that receive support from the Hospice."

Your Role:
As a Care Team Manager, you will:

• Lead and support a team of Home Carers in the community
• Help with day‑to‑day operations of the agency
• Deliver direct care and support to clients when needed
• Be part of the on‑call support rota
• Work shifts including early mornings, evenings, and alternate weekends

What We’re Looking For:

• NVQ Level 3 in Social Care (or equivalent)
• Previous experience in a similar role
• A natural leader who inspires others to do their best
• Kind, compassionate, and committed to high‑quality care
• A full, clean UK driving licence, access to a vehicle, and Class 1 business insurance

What You’ll Get in Return:

• £27,620 per annum
• Full induction & ongoing training and development
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme
• Eligibility for the Blue Light Discount Card
• Refer‑a‑friend bonus (£200 after probation)
• Work with purpose – all agency profits go directly to support St Elizabeth Hospice
