Ready to lead, inspire, and make a real difference every day?

At Lifeways, we’re not just offering a job — we’re offering a career where your leadership will directly impact people’s independence, confidence and quality of life.

About the Role
As a Care Team Leader , you will work alongside the Service Manager to lead and develop a dedicated team, ensuring high-quality, person-centred support is delivered every day.

You’ll play a key role in:
  • Leading, mentoring, and motivating Support Workers
  • Ensuring care plans and risk assessments are effective and up to date
  • Promoting independence, choice, and dignity for the people we support
  • Overseeing daily operations, rotas, and quality standards
  • Supporting staff development through supervision, coaching, and training
  • Building strong relationships with families, professionals and stakeholders
  • Leading by example to create a positive and inclusive environment
You’ll also remain hands-on, supporting individuals to live fulfilling lives — whether that’s learning new skills, accessing the community, or achieving personal goals.

Shift Patterns
  • Full-time: 37.5 hours per week
  • Shifts between 8:00am and 10:00pm, Monday to Sunday
  • Flexibility is essential to meet the needs of the people we support across both services
  • Rotational shifts: Days, evenings, weekends, and sleep-ins
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is:
  • An experienced Senior Support Worker or Team Leader in adult social care
  • Qualified to Level 3 in Health & Social Care (or working towards)
  • Passionate about delivering person-centred support
  • A confident leader who can inspire and develop a team
  • Organised, proactive, and able to manage competing priorities
  • A strong communicator who builds positive relationships
Above all, you’ll have a genuine commitment to helping people live independent, meaningful lives .

Why Join Lifeways?
At Lifeways, we believe in supporting our teams as much as the people we support.

You’ll benefit from:
  • Clear career progression opportunities
  • Funded training and recognised qualifications
  • A supportive management team and positive culture
  • Employee rewards, discounts and wellbeing support
  • The opportunity to make a real difference every day
This is a fantastic opportunity to lead a service where:
  • People have their own homes and independence
  • There’s a strong sense of community and belonging
  • You can truly shape the quality of support and outcomes
You’ll be part of a team that empowers individuals to live life to the full in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Ready to Take the Next Step?
If you’re ready to progress your career and lead a team that changes lives, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and become part of something genuinely meaningful.
