There are a variety of middle management roles, depending on the employer. Independent Care Providers will generally have a Senior Care Worker role; whereas local authorities can have Assistant Managers, Team Managers or even Deputy Managers. In Extra Care settings these are also known as Locality Care Managers. The role they fulfill are however largely the same and they are all at level 3.
These roles will oversee and monitor Care Workers, Care Assistants and Home Carers. They sometimes also attend to the personal needs and comforts of the elderly and those needing additional help with care and support needs within residential care establishments, day care establishments or in their own homes. They can also fulfil more managerial functions such as managing, monitoring and improving service delivery to ensure people receive a complete person centred care service.
