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 opportunity as a Supported Living Manager in our services in Cheltenham- Gloucestershire. This is a Supported Living Manager role that involves managing a supported living location for 11 individuals with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities and Complex Health across 3 bungalows on one site.

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.

Role Responsibility

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. 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, implement care plans and handle some operational management. You will also work alongside Commissioners, Stakeholders, Regulators and other parties who are involved with a service.

The Ideal Candidate

Ideally a background of working in a supporting living setting within the LD sector and of supporting individuals with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities and Complex Health coupled with an understanding of Epilepsy will be a real advantage. You will hold a level 5 qualification or be working towards this/willing to work towards this. 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. You will also have sound knowledge of CQC and experience of managing services which are governed by these regulations.

Experienced in managing staff teams, developing talent and managing performance issues is required, you will be able to motivate staff members, develop leadership and delegate skills. You should also have a sound understanding of supported living and how individuals with complex health needs can be supported within this model.

Details of what will amount to satisfactory evidence can be provided upon request
