This is a role where your leadership, empathy, and drive will shine. You’ll be the anchor for your team—offering support, solving challenges, and leading service improvements that make a real difference. If you’re ready to lead with kindness and purpose, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll do

  • Provide regular supervision and model best practice in complex cases
  • Oversee assessments, support plans, and reviews to ensure quality care
  • Maintain accurate records and monitor performance using digital systems
  • Work with external agencies to assess referrals and prioritise support
  • Build strong relationships with local services and professionals
  • Promote independence, wellbeing, and inclusion for all customers
  • Manage safeguarding and risk concerns with confidence and care
  • Champion self-advocacy and customer empowerment
  • Lead team meetings and contribute to training and development

What you’ll need

  • Experience of providing care support 
  • Strong leadership and team management skills
  • Availability to work unsocial hours i.e. evenings, nights, weekends and public holidays
  • Willingness and ability to travel
  • Confidence in assessing needs and managing risks
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities
  • IT skills and attention to detail for record-keeping
  • A positive, energetic, and empathetic approach
  • Commitment to equality, inclusion, and customer service
  • A full UK driving licence and access to your own car
  • A satisfactory Enhanced DBS check (Peabody pays for this)

Why join us?
When you join Peabody, you’re joining a team guided by our values – Be Kind, Do the Right Thing, Love New Ideas, Celebrate Diversity, Keep Our Promises, and Pull Together. We believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels supported, included, and empowered.

What we offer:

  • 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays.
  • Flexible benefits package (healthcare, dental, lifestyle discounts).
  • 4x Life Assurance.
  • Two additional paid volunteering days each year.
  • Up to 10% matched pension contribution

Please read before applying:

  • We are unable to provide visa sponsorship; you must be able to demonstrate you have the right to work in the UK.
  • Interviews will take place in person on the 17th of December in person at Ferguson Close, Saffron Walden, Essex CB11 3HY.
  • An enhanced DBS check is a requirement of this role
  • A full UK driving licence and access to your own car is essential

If this sounds like the kind of meaningful work, you’d love to be part of, we’d love to hear from you. Please apply now by submitting an anonymised CV and a short statement explaining why you’re the perfect fit for this role.
