Senior Care Support Worker – Help People Live Their Best Lives Every Day 

Do you love making a difference and have the leadership skills to guide others? Are you the kind of person who brings warmth, energy, and compassion wherever you go? As a Senior Care Support Worker at Peabody, you’ll play a vital role in helping people live their best lives – while empowering them to deliver exceptional care and support.

This is more than a job; it’s a chance to lead by example, inspire your colleagues, and ensure every customer feels safe, respected, and included. You’ll combine hands-on care with leadership responsibilities, making sure services run smoothly and reflect the choices and wishes of the people we support.

What you’ll do

  • Lead and mentor a team of Care Support Workers, providing guidance, coaching, and feedback
  • Work with your manager to plan, deliver, and evaluate person-centred care
  • Carry out quality audits, maintain accurate records, and ensure compliance with CQC standards
  • Support customers with daily living tasks, personal care, and community activities
  • Promote inclusion, independence, and positive relationships for every individual
  • Manage rotas, staffing cover, and assist with recruitment and induction
  • Liaise with families, professionals, and stakeholders to ensure joined-up support
  • Uphold health and safety standards and safeguard customers at all times

What you’ll need

  • Experience in organising, supervising, and leading others  in a professional or volunteering role
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships
  • A compassionate, resilient, and non-judgmental approach
  • Excellent organisational and time management skills
  • Ability to maintain accurate records and write reports
  • IT literacy and confidence using digital systems
  • A DBS check satisfactory to Peabody
  • Care Certificate or relevant qualifications – desirable but not essential

Why Join Us?
When you join Peabody, you’re joining a team guided by our values:
Be Kind, Do the Right Thing, Love New Ideas, Celebrate Diversity, Keep Our Promises, and Pull Together.
We believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels supported, included, and empowered.

What we offer

  • 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays
  • Two paid volunteering days each year
  • Flexible benefits scheme and discount portal
  • Life assurance at 4x your salary
  • Up to 10% pension contribution
  • Paid training and development opportunities
  • Employee assistance programme
  • Staff recognition schemes

Please Read Before Applying
This role requires an enhanced DBS check and flexibility to work across a 24/7 rota on occasion, including overnight shifts, weekends, bank holidays. You will also need to participate on an on-call rota across Saffron Walden and Halstead.

If this sounds like we are right for you and you’d love to be part of Peabody, we’d like to hear from you.

Please apply now by submitting an anonymised CV and a short statement explaining why you’re the perfect fit for this role.

Closing date: 13th January 2026 at midnight.

Interviews will take place by no later than 23rd January 2026 onsite in Saffron Walden.
