Join Our Team as a Unit Manager at Thomas Fields Community Care Centre!

Are you a compassionate and dynamic individual ready to lead positive change in the heart of the picturesque Peak District? An exciting opportunity awaits you at Thomas Fields CCC, where we pride ourselves on providing exceptional care in a warm and welcoming environment.

About Us:

Thomas Fields CCC is a 20-bed residential unit, offering both long-term and short-term community support beds. As a purpose built care home, specialising in dementia care, we place each resident's wellbeing at the core of our mission. Located just a stone's throw away from Buxton Town Centre, our centre is your chance to make a real impact in the lives of those in our care.

Dementia Care:

Thomas Fields CCC recognises and provides stimulation to the evolving needs of individuals with different stages of dementia to remain happy, safe, engaged and as independent as possible. As a Unit Manager you will have a wide range of experience and be focussed on excellent care delivery which promotes choice, respect and dignity.

Community Support Beds and Beyond:

At Thomas Fields CCC, we go beyond traditional care models by offering community support beds that serve as a crucial transition for those ready to leave the hospital but not quite ready to return home independently. Leading and managing this dynamic element of care, you will be responsible for the safe, daily admission and discharge of individuals, with continuous professional networking with our allied health and social care professionals. As a Unit Manager, you will relish the unique challenges and opportunities of overseeing this diverse care offer, working collaboratively with the privately managed Extra Care Unit that completes the community care centre.

- Enjoy a beautiful work environment in the heart of the Peak District.

- Benefit from 27 days of annual leave (plus 5 more after 5 years), flexible working options, and competitive pay rates for weekends and nights.

- Access training and development opportunities to enhance your skills.

- Join the Local Government Pension Scheme and enjoy discounts at selected county leisure centres through the Derbyshire Rewards Scheme.
