Team Leaders are responsible for leading, motivating and supporting staff teams to ensure people supported by the organisation can live full, inclusive and meaningful lives. The role focuses on person-centred support, promoting independence and maximising the use of natural and non‑paid supports so that people build strong connections beyond paid care alone.

Team Leaders ensure that individuals are at the centre of all decision-making and receive high‑quality, creative and flexible support that meets their assessed outcomes. They work closely with staff teams and in partnership with external professionals, families, care managers, commissioners and other agencies.

Key responsibilities include:

• Ensuring people’s agreed outcomes are met effectively and in person‑centred ways
• Recruiting, supporting and developing staff
• Overseeing staff training and ongoing development
• Monitoring quality and ensuring compliance with care standards
• Ensuring health and safety requirements are met
• Managing financial responsibilities within services
• Meeting statutory and regulatory requirements

• Working collaboratively with external agencies and professionals

Team Leaders play a key role in maintaining service quality, supporting staff wellbeing and promoting inclusive, outcome‑focused practice across services.
