We're looking for an experienced Referrals & Development Lead to lead the growth and development of our supported living services across Moorview Care.
If you're passionate about creating new opportunities for people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and individuals with complex needs, and have experience managing referrals, assessments, and service development, we'd love to hear from you.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in expanding our services, building strong partnerships with commissioners and stakeholders, and ensuring every person joining Moorview Care experiences a safe, person-centred transition.
Why Moorview Care
Moorview Care is a family organisation at heart, made up of a kind and dedicated team who support autistic people, people with a learning disability, and people with mental health needs to live a Gloriously Ordinary Life.
Since 2000, we have supported people across multiple locations in the North of England. Strongly rooted in family values, we welcome the people we support as part of that family.
We are passionate about making a meaningful difference in people's lives and pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, person-centred support. As we continue to grow, we're looking for people who share our ambition to deliver exceptional care while developing innovative services for the future.
About the Role
As our Referrals & Development Lead, you will lead the end-to-end referral journey, from initial enquiry through to assessment, transition, and successful placement within our services.
Working closely with operational managers, clinical professionals, commissioners, and families, you'll ensure every transition is safe, well-planned, and tailored to the individual. Alongside leading referrals, you'll play a key role in identifying new service opportunities, supporting business growth, and helping shape the future of Moorview Care.
