About Us

City & County Healthcare Group is a family of care companies delivering domiciliary care, extra care, complex care, and live-in care services across the UK. As an industry leader, we’re bound by a common set of values and principles in providing flexible, community-based care support of the highest standard that actively promotes the independence, dignity and choice for our clients and customers while promoting staff support and development.

The Role

The role of the field care supervisor is to support the delivery of the highest quality care support services by carrying out a range of functions in the field, including the assessment and review of individual services and the practical supervision, instruction, and support of care workers.

Field care supervisors are expected to spend most of their working time in the community carrying out their primary functions, but their role will typically also entail a certain amount of office-based administrative work.

This is a great chance to be part of one of the UK’s most exciting businesses within Domiciliary Care, who are going from strength to strength focusing on their growth and quality of care.

• Promote a safe working environment and safe systems of work in respect of care workers in the field and those that might be affected by their activities
