Job Introduction
Community Team Leader – Supported Living
36 hours per week | Permanent | Must hold a full UK Driving Licence
Are you passionate about making a real difference in people’s lives? We’re looking for a dedicated Team Leader to join our caring community, supporting individuals with a wide range of needs, including mental health conditions, across the Southampton area. Having a driver's license is essential for this role.
This is more than just a leadership role – it’s about being a role model, a motivator, and a steady presence for both the people we support and the Support Workers who care for them. You’ll work hand in hand with our Complex Care Manager, helping to ensure every person we support receives safe, reliable, and truly person-centred care.
What your role will look like
Welcoming and supporting new team members
You’ll play a big part in helping new Support Workers settle in – from interviews and introductions to guiding them through their first days. Building relationships with both staff and the people we support will be at the heart of what you do.
Nurturing quality care
You’ll help make sure our services run smoothly – from supporting with rotas to attending important meetings and regularly reviewing care plans. With a focus on mental health and complex conditions, you’ll make sure that the care we deliver is always safe, responsive, and centred around each person’s unique needs.
Supporting and growing your team
You’ll be there to encourage, coach, and guide Support Workers – checking in regularly, celebrating successes, and spotting where extra training or support might help. By creating a positive and supportive team culture, you’ll help every Support Worker feel confident, valued, and part of something bigger.
This role is perfect for someone who brings both leadership skills and hands-on experience with mental health and complex care. If you’re reliable, compassionate, and ready to step into a role where you can shape lives for the better every day, we’d love to hear from you.
