  • Spend at least 20% of your time on shift, supporting your team, role-modelling great practice, and mentoring colleagues
  • Lead by example, promoting kindness, respect, and person-centred values in everyday practice
  • Coordinate and oversee person-centred support across multiple services, ensuring consistency and quality
  • Keep services safe, compliant, and focused on positive outcomes for the people we support
  • Observe and support your team’s practice, offering constructive feedback and guidance for continuous improvement
  • Encourage and develop your team, helping them grow in confidence, skills, and expertise

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

Life at Hft

Joining Hft means becoming part of a team that believes every learning disabled adult should have the opportunity to live life their way. We’re a social care provider with a clear focus on the people we support, and we’re committed to delivering high-quality, sustainable services.

In this role, your leadership will directly influence how people achieve their goals, build independence, and engage with their communities. You’ll be part of a warm, inclusive environment where your guidance helps teams grow, take initiative, and deliver experiences that truly matter.

Our values guide everything we do: we’re kind and compassionate, inclusive, positive, and solution-focused, with a clear vision for the best possible life for everyone we work alongside.

What We Offer

  • A role with real impact, where your leadership empowers others
  • A warm, supportive, and inclusive team culture.
