Flamingo Workforce
Job description:
We’re recruiting a Team Leader for a residential home near Malvern that supports adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs, including behaviours that may challenge. It’s a settled, well-run service, and this is a genuine leadership role: you’ll run shifts, not just work them.
Flamingo Workforce is handling this hire on behalf of the care provider. It’s a permanent position, employed directly by them from day one.
What the job actually involves
You’ll take charge of the shift and make sure the home runs to standard: allocating the team, keeping documentation right, and being the person staff turn to when something needs a decision. Day to day you’ll be:
- Leading shifts in line with CQC standards and care legislation
- Writing and updating person-centred care plans
- Administering medication and keeping records accurate
- Inducting, mentoring and supervising support workers
- Getting stuck in alongside the team — activities, days out, mealtimes (there’s a free cooked meal on shift), and personal care when it’s needed
- Taking part in the on-call rota
This is hands-on leadership in a small home, not an office job. If you’re a Senior Support Worker ready to step up, or an experienced Team Leader wanting a service where you can actually know every resident, this will suit you.
What you’ll need
- NVQ/QCF Level 3 in Health and Social Care (essential)
- A full UK driving licence (essential)
- Solid working knowledge of learning disabilities, and of MCA and DoLS
- Experience supporting adults with complex needs or behaviours that challenge
- Good written records; numeracy, literacy and basic computer skills
- To live within 20 miles of Malvern, because of the on-call commitment (essential)
- Willingness to work 8am–8pm shifts, including alternate weekends
Please note: the employer is not currently accepting applications from candidates who require visa sponsorship or supplementary employment.
Pay and benefits
- From £13.70 per hour, 36 hours a week
- Free meal on shift
- Blue Light Card — discounts on shopping, travel and entertainment
- £300 employee referral bonus
- CQC inspection bonus: £125 for a ‘Good’ rating, £250 for ‘Outstanding’
- Long-service rewards from £100 at 5 years up to £1,000 at 20
- Confidential 24/7 support line
- A proper induction: face-to-face training, online modules, shadowing and a local induction period, with real development after that
