We have 2 exciting opportunities to join our services in Salford and Bolton where we provide 24 hour supported living for people (adults) that live with Learning Disabilities and additional health issues. As the Team Manager you will have management responsibility for a team of  3 services, supporting approximately 9 people.  

We support people with daily living activities, such as, taking part in various activities, support with medication, washing and dressing etc. Everyone's needs are critical to live their way of life but at Turning Point, we pride ourselves in our strong focus on supporting people to set goals and achieve the outcomes they want, whatever they may be. We believe that this focus enables people to be 'Inspired by possibility'.  It is one of our core values as a company.

Everyone has their own unique reason for choosing Turning Point. It might be our passion for making a difference – not a profit organisation. Whatever your reason, you’ll enjoy working with like–minded people who believe in inspiring people to create positive change.

Please note you must have experience in leading a team to be considered for this role.

Building on your experience of working with people with learning disabilities, you’ll set, maintain and develop standards as part of our service. As a Team Manager, your focus will always be on ensuring the delivery of consistently high-quality services within a challenging but very rewarding environment.

As Team Manager you will have responsibility to support your Lead Support Worker and Support Workers. You will provide practical and visible leadership throughout the day. You will work collaboratively with other Team Managers and your Supported Living Manager to ensure high quality support is provided in line with our extensive and person-centred support plans.

In this varied Team Manager role, you’ll also carry out risk assessments, implement Support Plans and provide operational management.

Responsibilities will include :

• Inspiring colleagues and create the culture to drive high quality support
• Working within agreed financial and legislative frameworks, including roster management, weekly finance and medication checks, health and safety checks, organisational and CQC compliance in relation to keeping people safe
• Supporting and empowering people to live more independently in their community, developing positive outcomes for those being supported including those with learning disabilities, autism and complex health needs
• Communicating effectively with a range of stakeholders
• Operating flexibly as this role will involve out-of-hours checks supporting/coaching staff and the possible need to backfill when short of staff

Ideally, you will have previous experience managing a health, social care or community-based service but we also welcome applications from experienced managers outside of health and social care who have strong leadership and people management skills and are interested in bringing their experience into the learning disability sector.

A successful candidate will have:

• Demonstratable leadership skills with a flexible and adaptable leadership style
• In depth understanding and ability to performance manage the functions of the team
• Excellent communication skills (verbal/written) with the ability to adapt communication to staff, commissioners, partners and the people we support
• Strong organisational, time management and prioritisation skills
• Ability to remain calm and resilient in high pressure environments
• Experience leading or managing a team (this may be within health and social care or another sector where strong people management skills have been developed)
• Willingness to work towards NVQ Level 4/5 qualification

As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.

We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.

 What Benefits Will I Receive?

 We know reward looks different to each person and so whether its ways to make your money go further, a culture supporting recognition and celebration, or opportunities to boost your career – we want to support you in every way we can with our total reward package.
