At LIFE by Be Caring, we are values-led and outcome-focused. Everything we do is guided by our commitment to delivering care that empowers people - and the belief that everyone deserves to live a life of purpose, connection, and choice.
We are seeking a flexible, knowledgeable, and values-driven Team Manager to join our team at Allendale Court. This service supports adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism, and Mental Health needs, including people who may present behaviours that challenge others.
This is not just a management position - it's a meaningful leadership role focused on personalised support, skilled team development, and long-term positive outcomes for the people we support.
What You'll Do
As a Team Manager, you will be a part of the team dedicated to deliver person-centred support. Each person supported at Allendale has an Individual Service Fund (ISF) and works towards greater independence, with a typical two-year pathway.
You will lead a team that supports people to achieve their own outcomes - whether that's building life skills, accessing the community, improving emotional wellbeing, or transitioning into their own tenancy.

Develop and Support the Team
- Line-manage, coach, and mentor a team of Support Workers
- Model values-based leadership: approachable, resilient, and committed to shared success
Maintain Safety and Compliance
- Ensure effective safeguarding, risk management, and regulatory compliance (CQC)
- Keep all documentation and audits accurate and timely
- Work closely with the Service Manager and multi-agency professionals to ensure joined-up support
What You'll Bring
- In-depth knowledge of supporting people with Learning Disabilities, Autism, and Mental Health needs
- Experience working with or leading a team in Supported Living, ISL, or community-based care
- A flexible approach to work, with the ability to adapt to changing needs, provide on-call support, and support across different shifts
- Proven ability to manage people, lead with values, and maintain high standards in care delivery
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- A UK driving licence and access to a car or motorbike for work purposes
What We Offer
- £300 New Starter Bonus | up to £400 Annual Bonus | £300 Refer-a-Friend Bonus
- £25 Birthday Gift Voucher
- Fully funded DBS check
- Access to Level 2-4 qualifications, leadership development and accredited training
- 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
- Mileage allowance - 45p per mile
- Optional GMB union membership
- A supportive working culture where you're trusted to lead and valued for your impact
