Career Progression: From Care Assistant to Senior Care Roles

One of our biggest strengths is career progression. Many of our candidates start out as care assistants and, with the right support and experience, go on to progress into senior or specialist roles.

Starting as a Care Assistant

As a care assistant, you’ll build essential skills such as:

  • Supporting individuals with daily living
  • Providing emotional and practical care
  • Working as part of a multidisciplinary team
  • Following care plans and safeguarding procedures

This is a role that builds confidence quickly and open doors to long-term opportunities in care.

Progressing to Senior Care Roles

With experience and training, progression can include:

  • Senior Care Assistant
  • Team Leader
  • Support Worker (specialist settings)
  • Residential or Supported Living roles

Senior roles often involve:

  • Supporting and mentoring junior staff
  • Managing shifts and care delivery
  • Communicating with families and professionals
  • Taking on additional responsibility and leadership

Prospero actively supports this progression by matching you with placements that help you develop. Not hold you back.

Building Skills for the Future

At Prospero, we don’t see training as just a tick-box exercise. It’s about building confidence on shift, preparing you for senior responsibilities, and giving you the opportunity to move into specialist care roles if that’s where your interests lie.

Most importantly, training supports long-term career growth, heling you develop skills that genuinely move your career forward. We encourage candidates to see training as part of their journey in care, not just a requirement to meet.

Flexible Working That Fits Around You

One of our biggest benefits of working with Prospero Health & Social Care is flexibility, because we know no two people’s lives look the same. You might be balancing work around family life, studying or training, returning to care after some time away, or simply looking to top up your income alongside a permanent role.

That’s why we offer a real mix of opportunities, including day and night shifts, full-time or part-time work, and both temporary and long-term placements. You stay in control of when you work, how often you work, and what fits best around your life.

Support That Goes Beyond Recruitment

What really sets Prospero Health & Social Care apart is ongoing support.

You’ll have:

  • A dedicated consultant who knows you
  • Clear communication around shifts and placements
  • Support with compliance and training
  • Someone to speak to if things aren’t working

We believe better support leads to better care both for staff and service users alike.
