The Role
You’ll be at the heart of our service, balancing hands-on support with leadership responsibilities. One day you might be working one-to-one with someone to help them gain confidence in daily life, the next you’ll be coaching colleagues, leading care reviews or ensuring our high standards are consistently met. It’s a role where you’ll use your skills to create a safe, supportive environment, while encouraging choice, independence and wellbeing.

- Previous management or supervisory experience in social care
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- A genuine sensitivity to people’s needs, with the ability to respond with warmth and professionalism
- A personal Christian faith, with the ability to work in line with and uphold our Christian ethos
What We’ll Offer You
- Joining a dedicated, compassionate team in a service where every day brings the chance to make a real difference.
- Support for your professional growth with ongoing training, development opportunities and supervision, alongside the encouragement to explore your own ideas for improving care.
Benefits:
- Access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card.
- A generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit.
- Enhanced family friendly policies.
- Access to a health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments.
- A care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges.
