Care Team Leader - Full Time

Location: Keys Hill Park, Wroxham

Are you ready to step into a role where leadership truly matters? At Lifeways, you'll join a team that values your contribution, supports your growth and empowers you to make a meaningful difference every single day.

This is a chance to become part of a service at the heart of the local community, helping people live more independent, fulfilled lives.

About the Role

We're looking for a committed and confident Care Team Leader to join our established service at Keys Hill Park. Working alongside the Service Manager, you will guide, motivate and support a dedicated team while also playing an active role in providing high quality, person centred care to adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs.

This is more than a leadership role - it's an opportunity to shape a positive, empowering environment where people can thrive.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor and develop a strong support team
• Carry out staff supervisions, interviews and ongoing coaching
• Promote exceptional, person centred support and positive risk taking
• Work collaboratively with colleagues, professionals and the people we support
• Maintain accurate records and use IT systems confidently
• Uphold the highest standards of safety, quality and dignity

What We're Looking For

• Experience as a Care Team Leader or Senior Support Worker
• NVQ/QCF in Health & Social Care (or equivalent) preferred
• Strong communication, leadership and organisational skills
• A genuine passion for empowering people to live rich, independent lives

If you're an experienced Support Worker looking for that next step, we'll provide the development, training and mentorship to help you succeed.

Shift Pattern

Varied shifts available - flexible on hours but alternative weekends.

Service operates long day shifts of 12 or 14 hours, typically between 8am and 10pm. Sleep in shifts may also form part of this role.

Preferably a driver but not essential.

About Keys Hill Park

Keys Hill Park sits in a peaceful rural spot near the River Bure with Wroxham and Hoveton just a short walk away. The area offers local shops, cafés, boat tours and popular attractions, making it a lively and engaging community, especially in summer.

People we support enjoy everything from coastal trips to local walks, gym sessions at NR12 Fitness, visits to Norwich's theatres and museums, and celebrating events together throughout the year.

What the people we support say:

"It's very nice here. Everyone's so friendly. There's helpful staff, and residents help with doing things. The garden is nice; I enjoy being outside working on the vegetable patch. Once in a while I go into town and I sing at a local church most Sundays."
