Job Introduction

At Turning Point, we support people across England with Learning Disabilities and Mental Health. Making a real difference to their lives, you’ll motivate, manage and grow a team of service managers to enable more people to discover new possibilities in their lives.

Role Responsibility

As a Locality Manager you will manage our current provision of support and play a lead role in future growth and development within the allocated regions. The support provided is as varied as the people we support but with a particular emphasis and expertise of supporting individuals with complex support needs.
