Job description

We are on a mission to reinvent the future of care, so communities are supported to thrive, and all members of the care ecosystem are valued.

We are thrilled to be recognised as winners at the 2026 Home Care Awards with the GOLD award for Most Outstanding Independent Homecare Provider, Best for Recruitment, Retention and Staff Motivation & Best for Sustainability Initiative, we would love for you to join us!

Requirements of the Role

• You will spend most of your time working in the community supporting care teams, meeting people we support and new families across Oxfordshire
• Must have some availability during our shift times (generally 7am - 1pm and 4pm - 9pm) to cover visits when necessary
• Part of a rota to provide telephone support on weekends, and occasionally cover weekend visits
• Must be able to drive and have own car
• Should have Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care
• You will be supporting our teams in Oxfordshire (Oxford, Kidlington, Witney, Abingdon, Wantage)

Adult social care is in crisis. Despite unprecedented demand, the care sector is under-resourced, stigmatised and undervalued. Demand continues to accelerate, far outstripping supply. The root cause is that people don’t like the roles on offer in the current time-and-task, command-and-control model of delivering care. This crisis shows no sign of slowing.

At BelleVie we are treating the root causes of the care crisis, through a radical new way of working which is built on strong communities, thriving relationships and technology that drives efficiencies, resulting in better outcomes for all.

Inspired by the success of the Dutch Buurtzorg model, BelleVie operates self-managing teams of care workers who work together to serve their local neighbourhood. This innovative and new model is enabled and scaled by our proprietary Wellbeing OS technology platform and funded by a monthly subscription. BelleVie has already achieved great success since launching in 2019, with 83% of supported families highly recommending us and multiple national award wins to our name.

Do you naturally have a “coaching” rather than “managing” style? Do you have experience of leading high quality services in care? Do you find joy in making a difference in the lives of care workers as well as those receiving care? Are you experienced in, or curious about, new models of care such as self‑management and outcomes‑based ways of working?

Do you enjoy being out in the community, building relationships and supporting people face to face?

We are looking for a Coach to mentor and develop our Care Workers to deliver the highest standards of person centred care and to thrive in self managing teams. This is a hands on, community based role, coaching, mentoring and supporting our teams.

The Role

• To focus on the training and development of existing Wellbeing Support Workers (the name our care workers co‑designed for themselves), in self-managing teams, delivering outstanding care and support. Our teams cover areas around Oxford, Kidlington, Witney, Abingdon & Wantage.
• To visit the people we support, lead on reviewing our person centred plans with them and training Wellbeing Support Workers to assist with this.
• To work in the community alongside Wellbeing Support Workers, providing in‑person coaching, mentoring and support, visiting team meetings, provide feedback and helping teams work through challenges
• To support on the recruitment and onboarding of new Wellbeing Support Workers, developing self‑managing teams to deliver outstanding care and support.
• To creatively contribute to our learning and development offer for teams and individuals.
• To contribute to an open culture of continuous learning, where we admit mistakes and support one another to achieve.
• To mentor and coach new Wellbeing Support Workers through probation to achieve the BelleVie Certificate of compassionate care and self management.
• To meet families looking for care, supporting them at often difficult times, creating care plans and supporting teams to update rotas and start caring for a new person.
• To live your values and champion ours as you coach our Wellbeing Support Workers.
• To foster our culture of appreciation and openness, challenging one another to be the best we possibly can.
• To put the people we support at the centre of all our thinking, delivering great, imaginative outcomes, whatever their needs.
• To work with the Wellbeing Support teams and Leadership team to ensure compliance with CQC and work towards an outstanding rating.
• To be prepared to help out teams as and when required eg; covering visits when there is unplanned absence.

The person we want

• Is fun loving, positive and great with people
• Is a team player
• Is driven by compassion
• Is highly responsible and has great integrity
• Is well organised and thorough

We will offer you

• 30 days annual leave + Birthday off work
• We count outcomes not hours, but expect this role to be your full time job of 37.5hrs per week.
• Most work takes place on weekdays, but as this role supports care teams who work 7 days a week, there will be times when you need to work outside of “office hours”. You will be able to claim that time back as “time off in lieu” (TOIL).
• Must have availability during our shift times (generally 7am - 1pm and 4pm - 9pm) to cover visits when necessary.
• Part of a rota to provide telephone support on weekends, and occasionally cover weekend visits.
• We pride ourselves on working flexible hours - walk the dog, spend time with family - we each take personal responsibility for our outcomes and making sure we’re available to our colleagues.
• A supportive environment, working in a team with a variety of skills and experience who will enable you to be the best you can
• You will spend most of your time working out in the community supporting care teams, meeting people we support and new families across Northumberland (must be able to drive and have a car!). We are a fully remote organisation so you will be provided with a phone and laptop to work from home the rest of the time.
• Enjoys being out in the community, being proactive in visiting Support Workers and teams (our teams cover areas around Oxford, Kidlington, Witney, Abingdon & Wantage), and offering them support where needed
• Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care or above is preferred, plus previous experience of supporting teams, care planning and managing risks.
