Lead Adult Care Workers may work in residential or nursing homes, domiciliary care, day centres, a person’s own home or some clinical healthcare settings. A Lead Adult Care Worker will make a positive difference to someone’s life and is expected to exercise judgment and take appropriate action to support individuals in their care. This role involves providing leadership, guidance and direction at the front line of delivery. In some circumstances, Lead Adult Care Workers will have delegated responsibility for the standard of care provided and may supervise the work of other care workers. This standard also covers Lead Personal Assistants who can work at a senior level, but they may only work directly for one individual who needs support and/or care services, usually within their own home. Some typical roles across settings may include: senior carer, team-leader, care supervisor and shift leader. This standard is typically a progression route from Adult Care Worker in the sector and has more emphasis with development of leadership and autonomy.
