The senior care assistant role

A senior care assistant runs the shift. You still deliver care, but you also hold the medication trolley, allocate the floor, handle the family who arrives upset and decide when something needs escalating to the manager or to a GP.

It is the first step where accountability moves from your own practice to other people's. Most seniors come up through a care assistant role in the same service rather than arriving from outside.
