Job description

Post: Team Manager Salary: £47,000 to £57,000 (incremental scale) Location: Loftus Locality Closing Date: 31st October 2026

With our current Team Manager retiring early next year, we are seeking an experienced leader for our supported living service in Loftus. The service enables people to live independently and successfully as tenants in their own homes, while our outreach provision helps people access their communities and pursue opportunities that improve their quality of life. As Team Manager, you will provide operational leadership across the Loftus locality, ensuring safe, high-quality, person-centred support. You will inspire and develop the staff team, oversee service quality and build effective partnerships with the people we support, families, commissioners and health and social care professionals. Do you want to lead within an innovative organisation that puts people at the forefront of everything it does? This role offers the opportunity to help people reach their potential and achieve their aspirations. Over the past ten years, PIPS has developed innovative, person-centred supported living solutions for people with learning disabilities, autistic people and people with mental health needs across Teesside, North Yorkshire and County Durham. PIPS have a good reputation with commissioners, regulators, health and social care professionals, families and the people we support. We are looking for someone who has the following skills and qualities:

• Ability to lead a large team of staff to provide excellent person-centred support.
• Proficient in the use of Positive Behavioural Support.
• Demonstrates innovation and creativity.
• Has a focus on quality to improve services.
• Resilience.

This is a highly rewarding and challenging role. You will lead a staff team to deliver excellent support that enables people to develop, grow and achieve positive outcomes. Positive Behaviour Support is central to the PIPS model. Applicants must therefore be able to demonstrate competence in applying PBS to improve quality of life and support positive outcomes. Candidates must hold either an RNLD, Social Work or equivalent professional qualification, or a Level 5 qualification in Leadership for Health and Social Care together with an additional PBS qualification. All applicants must have a permanent right to work in the UK. For operational reasons, PIPS cannot accept applications from candidates whose right to work is time limited.
