Care centre manager jobs

About The Role

At Alzheimer’s Society, we believe no one should face dementia alone. Every conversation, every visit and every small moment of reassurance can make a real difference. We are looking for a warm, thoughtful and organised Dementia Adviser to join our supportive team in Pembrokeshire on a fixed term contract until 31st December 2026, working 30 hours per week.

You will work closely with people living with dementia and those who care about them, providing ongoing support. You will listen carefully, understand what matters most to each person and offer guidance that helps them feel steadier and more confident as their situation changes.

Your days will be varied and meaningful. You might be visiting someone at home, offering calm reassurance over the phone, or working closely with other professionals to make sure the right support is in place. We operate a triage system for new referrals and you will play your part in making sure people are responded to quickly and thoughtfully. You will manage your own caseload, keeping clear and accurate records, while always seeing the person behind the paperwork.

You will be part of a caring and dynamic local team who share ideas, reflect together and support one another. There will be time to meet as a team and opportunities to keep growing your knowledge of dementia, with your manager and colleagues alongside you.

About you

You will have:

- An understanding of dementia, or a willingness to learn about the experiences of people living with dementia and those who care for them.
- Experience providing information, guidance, advice or emotional support - this could be from health, social care, community, voluntary, customer service or other people focused roles.
- You will be able to listen and communicate, with the ability to build trust and rapport with people from a wide range of backgrounds.
- The ability to manage your workload effectively, with appropriate support and tools, and to balance competing priorities.
- Confidence using IT systems to maintain accurate and confidential records.
- A compassionate, non-judgemental and person-centred approach, with respect for diversity and individual lived experiences.
- The ability to travel independently.
- The confidence and ability to communicate with a wide range of people, adapting your approach to ensure understanding. You will be required to speak publicly at events about dementia, delivering information and signposting people to further resources and networks. 

Please don’t be put off from applying if you don’t meet every single requirement listed. We recognise the value of transferable skills and lived experience, and we’re keen to hear from candidates who can demonstrate potential, capability and a willingness to learn.

Key Responsibilities:

- Build supportive, trusting relationships with people living with dementia and their carers across, recognising and respecting individual needs and circumstances.
- Provide personalised information, advice and emotional support that reflects each person’s culture, background, values and preferences.
- Deliver support through home visits, telephone contact and partnership working other professionals.
- Participate in the triage rota, ensuring new referrals are handled promptly, sensitively and equitably.
- Manage a defined caseload, maintaining accurate, respectful and confidential records.
- Signpost and connect individuals to appropriate local services and community networks, reducing isolation and increasing access to support.
- Work collaboratively within a supportive team environment, contributing to reflective practice and continuous improvement.
- Facilitate and deliver regular peer support groups, creating a safe, inclusive environment where people affected by dementia can share experiences, build connections, and access tailored information and guidance.

ABOUT GLOBAL CANOPY

Global Canopy is a data-driven not for profit delivering real transparency and accountability for market impacts on nature and people. Our special focus is on ending deforestation – an essential step in achieving urgent global goals on climate, nature and human rights.

ABOUT CORPORATE PERFORMANCE

A growing number of companies and financial institutions are seeking to mitigate their impacts on nature. But many have made commitments that are not being met, and others are failing to take any action at all. We hold the most exposed companies and financial institutions to account through our Forest 500 project, by assessing their policies and performance.

With our suite of Deforestation-free Finance Guidance and a forthcoming new tool, DEFT Pathway, we provide tools and data for financial institutions and investors to support effective engagement with high-risk companies. We support the finance sector, policy makers and other stakeholders by providing market-leading data on deforestation and ESG metrics through Forest IQ.

The workstreams all work across Forest 500, Forest 500 – Finance, Floresta 250 – Cattle, Deforestation-free Finance Sector Guidance, Forest IQ, and DEFT Pathway.

The lives of the young people we work alongside have been directly shaped by living in an unjust world, and we exist to turn their anger into action. 

Young people are often the catalysts for major social change, from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee at the heart of the Civil Rights Movement, to the Soweto Uprising mobilising young people to resist the apartheid regime's education policies, to the Sunrise Movement redrawing the electoral map across America, and more recently encampments and protests across the world protesting the genocide in Palestine. How successfully they achieve real and lasting change depends on whether they are organised and whether they have the right strategy and tactics to be effective.

This is a rare opportunity to play a senior, practice-focused role within a respected, user-led charity with over 100 years of history supporting adults, parents and families with learning disabilities and neurodivergent needs.

About The Elfrida Society
The Elfrida Society is a values-driven organisation committed to rights, inclusion and social justice. Their independent advocacy services ensure that people who face systemic barriers are heard, respected and supported to influence decisions that affect their lives - particularly within social care, health, education and legal systems.

About the role
This is a senior advocacy role focused on supporting parents with learning disabilities and/or neurodivergent needs. You will lead complex and sensitive cases, work confidently across multi-agency environments, and help shape high-quality advocacy practice within the service.
You'll balance direct advocacy with contributing to service development, reflective practice and informal support for colleagues, helping to strengthen an already well-respected service.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading complex advocacy cases, including safeguarding, care planning, housing, health and legal processes
• Providing independent, person-centred advocacy using accessible communication and supported decision-making
• Preparing for and attending multi-agency meetings, case conferences and reviews
• Maintaining high-quality, accurate case records and working within safeguarding frameworks
• Contributing to quality improvement and best practice across the advocacy service

About you
You'll be an experienced advocate who is confident working autonomously, values reflective practice, and is deeply committed to empowerment and anti-oppressive approaches.

You will bring:

• A Level 4 Qualification in Advocacy (or equivalent)
• Experience supporting people with learning disabilities and neurodivergent needs
• Good knowledge of the Care Act, Mental Capacity Act, Equality Act and safeguarding frameworks
• Strong communication skills, including making information accessible
• The ability to manage complex caseloads independently

Experience working with parents, safeguarding cases or mentoring colleagues is welcomed but not essential.

What's on offer
The Elfrida Society places real value on staff wellbeing and professional support. Benefits include:

• 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata)
• Occupational sick pay
• Regular clinical supervision and reflective practice
• Ongoing training and development
• Flexible working where possible
• Travel expenses reimbursed (outside of to and from work)

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.

Play a central role in supporting teachers and safeguarding students at a growing, high-quality music school.

This is a practical, hands-on role combining pastoral judgement with detailed operational work. You’ll handle sensitive situations with care and clarity, while maintaining the systems and processes that underpin consistent, high-quality practice.

Greenwich Music School delivers lessons to hundreds of students each week across our venues, partner schools, and online. As we grow, we are looking for a Teacher Support & Pastoral Lead to take ownership of day-to-day safeguarding, behaviour, and teacher support work - alongside the policies, records, and processes that support it.

You will be the first point of contact for many teacher and safeguarding-related issues, handling routine and moderately complex situations independently. You’ll be expected to make decisions using judgement and policy, rather than relying on escalation in most day-to-day cases, while recognising when to involve the Principal.

Alongside casework, a significant part of the role is maintaining and improving the systems behind it - including safeguarding records, compliance processes, onboarding, and documentation.

This role sits at the centre of how we support both students and teachers. It requires calm judgement, strong communication, and the ability to balance sensitivity with clarity, structure, and consistency.

What the role involves

• Acting as Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, supporting the Principal (DSL)
• Managing safeguarding concerns day-to-day, including recording, follow-up, and appropriate escalation
• Acting as first point of contact for teacher concerns, including behaviour and pastoral issues
• Supporting teachers to handle challenging situations with students and families, including setting clear expectations and boundaries where needed
• Maintaining and improving safeguarding systems, including the Single Central Record, DBS and ID checks, and training records
• Taking ownership of key policies (safeguarding, behaviour, inclusion, online safety), ensuring they are practical, up to date, and consistently applied
• Managing teacher onboarding processes, including compliance checks and induction
• Co-ordinating training sessions and teacher events (logistics, communication, records)
• Maintaining the teacher handbook and communicating updates clearly
• Working alongside the SEND lead and Principal to support teachers working with students with additional needs
• Identifying and implementing improvements to processes, policies, and day-to-day practice

What success looks like

• Safeguarding concerns are handled consistently, with clear records and appropriate follow-up
• Compliance systems (SCR, DBS, training) are accurate and reliably maintained
• Teachers feel supported and clear on expectations
• Policies are up to date and reflected in day-to-day practice
• Onboarding and training processes run smoothly
• Day-to-day matters are handled confidently, with escalation where appropriate

About you

You are comfortable handling sensitive situations and making sound judgements without needing detailed instruction. You can communicate clearly and calmly, including when conversations are difficult or require you to hold boundaries.

You are organised and thorough, with strong attention to detail, and you follow things through to completion. You are equally comfortable maintaining detailed records and improving the systems behind them.

You are motivated by clarity and consistency - and by helping others work effectively within a well-run structure.

You will likely bring:

• Experience handling behaviour, safeguarding, or pastoral issues in a professional setting
• Confidence making independent, policy-informed decisions
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• High attention to detail and strong organisational skills
• An understanding of safeguarding principles and professional boundaries
• The ability to work independently in a remote-first environment

Experience in education, SEND support, or safeguarding compliance is helpful but not essential.

Additional details

• Hybrid working, with regular in-person time in Greenwich (typically weekly, especially during onboarding)
• Reports to the Principal, and works closely with the Operations Manager
