Team Leader - Winlaton (supported living)

Are you an experienced care professional looking to take the next step in your career? Do you have a passion for supporting people to live fulfilling, independent lives while leading and inspiring a team to deliver outstanding care? Lifeways is soon to open a brand-new one-person supported living service in the Winlaton area. The person you will be supporting has learning disabilities, autism, and behaviours of concern, and we are looking for a dedicated Team Leader to help shape and lead this exciting new service from the very beginning. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a lasting impact by building a positive, person-centred environment that promotes independence, wellbeing, and meaningful outcomes. The person supported enjoys colouring, jigsaws, music and dancing, as well as calming activities such as yoga and meditation. They also enjoy going out in the car, so a full UK driving licence is essential.What You'll Be Doing
