Join Adel Square Care Home and Help Make Every Day Meaningful

At Adel Square Care Home, part of the St Mary's Care Group, we believe care is about so much more than meeting needs. It's about creating a warm, supportive environment where residents feel safe, valued, respected, and truly at home.

Our beautiful care home in Leeds provides residential, dementia, and respite care, and we're proud of the compassionate team that makes a difference to people's lives every single day. We understand that the little things, a kind word, a reassuring smile, or simply taking the time to listen, can have the greatest impact.

We're looking for a caring and dedicated Team Leader to join us on either days or nights. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who leads with kindness, supports others to deliver exceptional care, and takes pride in creating positive experiences for residents and their families.

• Encouraging participation in activities, hobbies, and meaningful social interactions.
• Communicating effectively with families, healthcare professionals, and colleagues to ensure the best possible outcomes for residents.
• Acting as a role model for best practice and helping to foster a positive and supportive team culture.
