Maintain Safety and Compliance

• Ensure effective safeguarding, risk management, and regulatory compliance (CQC)
• Keep all documentation and audits accurate and timely
• Work closely with the Service Manager and multi-agency professionals to ensure joined-up support

• In-depth knowledge of supporting people with Learning Disabilities, Autism, and Mental Health needs
• Experience working with or leading a team in Supported Living, ISL, or community-based care
• A flexible approach to work, with the ability to adapt to changing needs, provide on-call support, and support across different shifts
• Proven ability to manage people, lead with values, and maintain high standards in care delivery
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• A UK driving licence and access to a car or motorbike for work purposes

• £300 New Starter Bonus | £300 Annual Bonus | £300 Refer-a-Friend Bonus

• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
• Mileage allowance – 45p per mile
• Optional GMB union membership
• A supportive working culture where you’re trusted to lead and valued for your impact

If you are a flexible, knowledgeable leader who thrives in a dynamic, person-led environment, and you’re passionate about enabling people to live more independently, we’d love to hear from you.
