G12: £55,662 - £59,490 per annum.

Whether you are an experienced Team Manager looking for a high‑performing environment, or an Advance Practitioner/Assistant Team Manager ready to take that next ambitious step into management, this is the role for you.

You will be leading a well‑established, stable, and dedicated Learning Disability team in Adult Social Care made up of professionals who are proud of the work they do. We operate a Named Worker Model ensuring that the people we support receive continuity, strength based and person‑centered approach that truly makes a difference.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join us. While our foundations are strong, we aren’t standing still. We are currently embarking on a proactive improvement journey.

• Incorporate the latest innovations in LD support.
• Lead a team that is already engaged and eager to excel.

You are an Advance Practitioner/Assistant Team Manager with a deep understanding of the Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act 2005 and LD practice. You’re ready for more responsibility and want a supportive environment to transition into leadership.

You’ve been a Team Manager before and you’re looking for a team that "gets it." You want to focus on high‑level practice improvement rather than constant crisis management.

Stability: A team with low turnover and a wealth of experience.

Model of Practice: Commitment to the Named Worker model.

Growth: A clear pathway for your own professional development as you lead our improvement in Learning Disability.
