Team Leader – Wingrave

Make a Real Difference – Join Our Team as a Team Leader in Wingrave.

Are you ready for the next step in your career? Do you have a passion for helping children thrive and reach their full potential? We're expanding our team at our residential children's home in Wingrave and are looking for a dedicated and compassionate individual.

What the Role Involves

Each day brings new moments of discovery, connection, and growth. You'll lead and inspire a small, close‑knit team supporting 10 amazing children who share a home together. Your leadership will help create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels valued, safe, and encouraged to express themselves. You'll provide guidance and mentoring to your team, helping them find creative, person‑centred ways to engage with the children. You'll also work closely with families, social workers, and other professionals to make sure each young person's support plan truly reflects their individual needs, interests, and goals. Our children each have their own unique strengths and personalities. At times, they may communicate through behaviours that challenge, but with the support of our experienced team and your dedicated Residential Manager, you'll develop positive approaches built on trust, empathy, and consistency. You'll also provide respectful, hands‑on support with personal care, always promoting dignity, choice, and independence in every aspect of daily life.

About the Role

Full‑time position, 38 hours per week – varying shift patterns including day (7am‑3pm), late (2pm‑10pm, 5pm‑1am) and admin (9am‑4pm) shifts. You will also need to work every other weekend and some bank holidays. You will have experience of supporting vulnerable people, ideally those with a learning disability. You will have managed a team and hold at least a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare. You'll be creative in your thinking and your approach to staff, the people we support and their families, able to inspire and motivate. You'll need to be well‑organised, with a good understanding of budgeting, and be IT‑literate. You must be a driver with your own transport, as you will travel regularly between services in the area, as well as to meetings, conferences and training.

Pay and Rewards

• Six weeks’ annual leave including statutory public holidays
• Workplace Pension scheme – MacIntyre will contribute 3% of your salary to all eligible employees
