Job Description

 

Female Team Leader - Supported Living

Tamworth | Full Time | 37.5 Hours Per Week

 

Are you a passionate care professional ready to take the next step into leadership?

At Lifeways, we're looking for an inspiring Female Team Leader to join our friendly Tamworth service and help make a real difference in the lives of people with learning disabilities.

This is more than a management role. It's an opportunity to lead by example, support a dedicated team, and empower people to live independent, fulfilling lives within their local community.

If you're someone who enjoys building relationships, encouraging others to achieve their goals, and creating positive experiences every day, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Service

Our Tamworth service supports three independent individuals who lead active and varied lives in the community. No two days are the same, and you'll play a key role in helping them continue doing the things they enjoy most.

From shopping trips and meals out to bowling, swimming, theatre visits, volunteering opportunities and church attendance, you'll be supporting people to stay connected, build confidence and enjoy meaningful experiences.

The service is based within a Supported Living flat scheme and involves some lone working. While personal care is not currently required, support needs may change in the future.

What You'll Be Doing

As Team Leader, you'll provide hands-on leadership while ensuring the people we support receive high-quality, person-centred care.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading, motivating and supporting a team of Support Workers
• Conducting staff supervisions, interviews and coaching sessions
• Promoting positive outcomes and independence for the people we support
• Building strong relationships with families, professionals and colleagues
• Ensuring care records and documentation are accurate and up to date
• Maintaining a safe, supportive and empowering environment
• Championing best practice and Lifeways values every day

Shift Patterns

This is a full-time position working 37.5 hours per week across a flexible rota, including:

• 07:30 - 21:30
• Sleep-in: 21:30 - 07:30
• 09:00 - 18:00
• 10:30 - 14:30
• 18:00 - 22:00
• 11:00 - 15:00
• 09:30 - 15:30

What We're Looking For

We're seeking an experienced and confident care professional who is passionate about supporting others and ready to lead a team.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Experience as a Team Leader, Senior Support Worker or in a similar role
• A Health & Social Care qualification (NVQ/QCF or equivalent is desirable)
• Strong communication, leadership and organisational skills
• The ability to motivate and develop others
• A genuine commitment to person-centred support
• Flexibility to work the required shift patterns

Most importantly, you'll share our belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a life filled with choice, independence and purpose.
