Full Time - 37.5 Hours

Do you have experience supporting people with learning disabilities and mental health challenges? Can you inspire a team and promote a culture whereby every moment has potential and is an opportunity to improve people’s lives?
Our team in Shrewsbury & Telford has a fantastic opportunity available for an ambitious and values-driven person who is passionate about person-centred care to join us as an Assistant Locality Manager!
This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow professionally and take on more responsibility whilst still being able to provide the direct support that’s so incredibly rewarding - it's the best of both worlds!
Day to day you will provide logistical support to the Locality Managers as well as exceptional hands-on care to the people we support. This role is predominantly based in Shrewsbury with a need to work in Telford on occasion. The people we support have varied needs and abilities.
