We’re looking for a Team Leader (Deputy Manager) who is an empathetic leader, with strong organisational and relationship management skills to manage our well-respected Residential Care service onsite at The Grange Centre in Bookham.  The role has come about as our current Team Leader is retiring after 13 years with us.

You’ll report directly into our Registered Manager who oversees the full residential and supported living services that we offer, to ensure the delivery of a person centred, efficient, responsive and high-quality service for the people we support. You’ll need to ensure that standards are maintained, and our compliance responsibilities are met. You’ll already have a good understanding of supporting adults with learning and/or physical disabilities, safeguarding responsibilities and CQC requirements.

We provide accommodation and care for 16 adults with low to medium learning disabilities, with ages ranging from 20 – 80 and you’ll be providing leadership and support to our fantastic staff team of 30.  Whilst this is currently a residential care unit, we are looking for someone with an understanding of supported living approaches to enhance our support offer.

By joining us as a Team Leader, you’ll instantly become part of our dedicated community, our ethos is Person Centred Care and Support and you’ll see and feel this at every level. We are proud that we do not rely heavily on agency staff, so you’ll get to know your colleagues and the people we support very quickly.  As a Team Leader you’ll need to be an expert communicator, regularly liaising and working closely with others across The Grange, motivating your team and driving standards, all the while ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity and respect and that we meet their needs and aspirations.

We know the care industry can be tough, but The Grange brings so much joy to not only the people we support but also to the staff team and wider community too. You’ll be supported by a welcoming team and provided with an extensive induction programme to help you settle into the role here.

Benefits: Annual leave 33 days , including bank holidays, rising a day each year up to 37 days after 4 year’s service.
