• Opportunity to purchase a health cash plan to claim towards dental, glasses, therapy etc.
• Free access to the employee assistance program which provides advice and support.
• Blue Light Card.

For this role we require staff who are able and willing to drive our company cars; therefore, you must hold a full UK Driving Licence.

Applicants from experienced Care Team Leaders/Senior Support Workers holding an NVQ/QCF in Health & Social Care (or equivalent) would be an advantage. However, if you are a dedicated Care Assistant or Carer with a solid track record, and the ambition to progress, Lifeways can offer you excellent training and ongoing development for you to enjoy a rewarding career with us.

As Team Leader, you will lead and motivate a team of support workers, ensuring that excellent person-centred care and support is delivered to people supported by Lifeways to enable them to live a fulfilling and independent life.

You will be involved in the recruitment and ongoing development of support workers by carrying out staff supervisions, candidate interviews, and providing general guidance and expertise. You will possess excellent communication skills to communicate effectively with staff, people we support, and outside professionals. In addition, good written communication and IT skills for record keeping are essential.

The people we support suffer from learning difficulties, autism, challenging behaviours, and some mobility issues; therefore, manual handling will be required. We are looking for energetic, hard-working individuals who also have a good sense of humour and patience. The people we support enjoy going out into the community to do a bit of shopping or engage in other exciting activities.
