Female Care Team Leader -Tamworth

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.

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.

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

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

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.

• Free DBS check
• Lifeways Rewards with discounts at major retailers, restaurants, gyms and cinemas
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Optional Health Cash Plan covering dental, optical and therapeutic treatments

• Free Employee Assistance Programme
• Friendly and inclusive workplace culture
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Support from experienced colleagues and managers

• Fully funded Health & Social Care qualifications
• Clear progression opportunities within a national organisation
• The chance to develop your leadership skills while making a genuine impact

Everything we do is guided by our values:

Caring - We put people first
Honest - We act with integrity
One Team - We achieve more together
Innovative - We embrace new ideas
Courageous - We speak up and take action
Equal - We treat everyone fairly

If you're looking for a rewarding leadership role where you can support your local community, help people achieve their goals, and be part of a team that truly changes lives, we'd love to hear from you.
