Social Care Team Manager (Nights)

£42.16k per annum
Full-time

Social Care Team Manager (Nights)

  • Chailey Heritage Foundation | North Chailey, East Sussex (BN8)
  • £ 42,159.00 per annum | Permanent | Full-time
  • Shifts: Mix of nights and day shifts

Lead nights — without working every night. This role manages and supports our overnight social care colleagues, but it includes a blended week of night and day shifts. That means strong leadership presence overnight, alongside dedicated time in the week for coaching, supervision, training and wider management responsibilities.

How your week typically looks

Most weeks include 3-night shifts, combining:

  • 2-night shifts as Duty Manager — providing overnight leadership, decision-making and safeguarding oversight
  • 1- night shift as hands-on — staying connected to front-line practice and supporting colleagues on shift
  • 2 day shifts focused on training, supervision, coaching and wider management responsibilities

Shift times (examples)

Shift patterns may include 8.30pm–7.30am, 8.30pm–2.00am, or 2.00am–7.30am. (depending on service need and rota).

The role includes either an evening support shift (hands-on) or a full night hands-on shift.

Role focus

You will be responsible for safe, effective leadership overnight and for building a confident, consistent team culture. Alongside your management responsibilities, you will also play an active role in coaching, training and supporting colleagues — and maintaining your own skills through hands-on practice.

Key responsibilities

  • Provide visible, values-led leadership to colleagues working nights
  • Act as Duty Manager and take appropriate action to keep children and young people safe
  • Support colleagues with coaching and on-the-spot guidance to embed best practice
  • Contribute to training, supervision and wider management responsibilities during day shifts
  • Promote consistent standards, safeguarding and high-quality care across the service

About you

  • A strong background in social care, with the confidence to lead teams on shift
  • Sound safeguarding knowledge and the ability to make clear decisions under pressure
  • A coaching mindset: you enjoy developing others and improving practice
  • A practical, hands-on approach and commitment to child-centred care

Why Chailey Heritage Foundation

  • A role with real purpose, supporting children and young people with complex needs
  • A blended rota that avoids “five nights a week” working
  • Learning and development opportunities
  • A supportive organisation focused on quality, values and teamwork
