This role is designed for a reflective, values-led manager who is comfortable working without fixed templates, and who can hold clinical, ethical, and organisational complexity.

Act as a visible practice leader, modelling curiosity, reflective thinking, and ethical decision-making in complex and uncertain situations. Work collaboratively with ELFT and Third Sector partners within the shared building, contributing to genuinely integrated ways of working. Support the development, testing and refinement of new ways of working, including alternatives to traditional risk assessment, escalation, and containment-focused responses. Hold and communicate the service's values and purpose, particularly when under pressure and scrutiny. Risk, safeguarding & governance Lead a proportionate, relational and least-restrictive approach to risk, balancing safety with autonomy, dignity, and psychological safety. Support staff to think critically about risk management, encouraging a proportional response that puts the customer at the heart of the process. Ensure safeguarding concerns are identified, held and responded to in line with statutory requirements, while maintaining a trauma-informed and non-punitive stance. Work alongside the Service Manager to ensure appropriate recording, learning, and reflective review of incidents, near-misses, and complexities. Contribute to a learning culture where mistakes, uncertainty, and anxiety can be thought about. People management & staff development Provide direct line management, supervision, reflective space for Support Workers, Specialist Support Workers and Waking Night Support Workers. Deliver high-quality supervision that integrates performance, wellbeing, emotional impact, and practice reflection. Support staff to develop confidence in working relationally and tolerating uncertainty.
