Care Supervisor – Bluebird Care Northeast

Looking for a change from shift-based nursing or frontline care?

Bluebird Care Northeast is recruiting a Care Supervisor to join our growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced care professional — and would particularly suit an RGN looking to move away from hospital shifts, nights or a traditional clinical setting, while continuing to use their healthcare experience in a rewarding community-based role.

As Care Supervisor, you will be at the heart of our service, supporting our Care Assistants and helping to ensure our customers receive safe, high-quality, person-centred care in their own homes.

Why consider this role?

If you enjoy working with people but are ready for a different pace and a new challenge, this role offers the opportunity to use your clinical and care experience in a supervisory and leadership position.

You will have the chance to build strong relationships with customers, families and staff, support the development of Care Assistants and play an important part in maintaining excellent standards of care across the service.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Completing customer assessments, reviews and care plan updates.
• 
  
• Carrying out supervisory visits and quality checks.
• 
  
• Supporting, mentoring and guiding Care Assistants working in the community.
• 
  
• Monitoring the quality and consistency of care being delivered.
• 
  
• Responding to changes in customers' care needs.
• 
  
• Liaising with customers, families and healthcare professionals.
• 
  
• Supporting new Care Assistants during induction and ongoing development.
• 
  
• Maintaining accurate care records and documentation.
• 
  
• Supporting the wider care management and coordination team.
• 
  
• Helping ensure company policies, procedures and care standards are followed.
• 
  
• Participating in the on-call rota where required.

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

• QQI Level 6 Healthcare qualification or equivalent.
• 
  
• Previous experience in healthcare, home care or a similar care environment.
• 
  
• A full clean driving licence 
• 
  
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• 
  
• Good organisational and time-management skills.
• 
  
• Confidence working independently and making sound decisions.
• 
  
• A compassionate, professional and person-centred approach.
• 
  
• Good IT and record-keeping skills.

Previous supervisory or team leadership experience is an advantage but is not essential for the right candidate.

An Excellent Opportunity for an RGN Looking for a Change

Are you an RGN who enjoys healthcare but is looking for something different?

Perhaps you are ready to step away from:

• Night shifts and rotating rosters.
• 
  
• Ward-based or hospital environments.
• 
  
• Constant clinical pressure.
• 
  
• A purely hands-on nursing role.

Your nursing experience can be extremely valuable in a Care Supervisor position. Your knowledge of care planning, risk awareness, communication, documentation and supporting vulnerable people can transfer very well into community care supervision.

This role allows you to stay connected to healthcare while developing your experience in leadership, quality assurance, staff support and care management.

Why Join Bluebird Care Northeast?

• Competitive salary.
• 
  
• A varied and rewarding community-based role.
• 
  
• Supportive and experienced management team.
• 
  
• Ongoing training and professional development.
• 
  
• Opportunities for career progression.
• 
  
• The chance to develop your leadership and care management experience.
• 
  
• The opportunity to make a genuine difference to customers receiving care in their own homes.
