Job Introduction

At Turning Point, we support people across England with learning disabilities. Making a real difference to their lives, you’ll motivate, manage and grow a team of support staff to enable more people to discover new possibilities in their lives.

We now have an exciting opportunity as a Supported Living Manager to oversee the support we provide across one of our service in Thanet. This role involves managing the support for individuals with a variety of support needs, profound learning disabilities and complex health needs.

Role Responsibility

As one of our management team, you’ll enjoy the scope and support to enhance your own life too, as you benefit from an exceptional level of internal and external training as well as a highly supportive management team.

Building on your experience of working with people with learning disabilities, you’ll set, maintain and develop standards as part of our supported living services for adults with learning disabilities including mental health. As the manager, your focus will always be on ensuring the delivery of consistently high quality services – all within a challenging, but very rewarding environment. In this varied Supported Living Manager role, you’ll also carry out risk assessments, quality audits, and implement support plans and handle some operational management.

Managing a team through a time of change, management experience and a background of working in supporting living setting will be a real advantage. The ability to meet financial and business targets will be just as important, as will a track record of supporting and empowering people to live more independently in their community. Flexibility is essential, and ideally, you’ll also have a full driving license and access to a car. In return, we can offer generous benefits that include childcare vouchers, excellent training and the scope to progress your career with a sector leader.

  • Personal qualities to be able to motivate staff members, develop leadership and delegate skills
  • Positive communication skills both verbal and written
  • Ability and experience of working alongside Commissioners, Stakeholders, Regulators and other parties who are involved with a service
