At Dimensions, your wellbeing matters. Rooted in respect and integrity, we’ll support you in staying healthy, feeling balanced, and having the flexibility you need to live well – both inside and outside of work. With courage to keep improving and compassion at our core, we’ll provide the care and practical support that help you bring your best self to every moment. Because when you live well and work well, everyone benefits – including the people we support.

About the role

• Assistant Locality Manager
• Bury St Edmunds.
• Full time – 37.5 hours per week / 22.5 hours off-rota
• £31,773.07 per annum.
• Full UK driving licence with access to own car essential.

As Assistant Locality Manager, you’ll work alongside the Locality Manager to ensure safe, person-centred, high-quality support for adults with learning disabilities and autism in Bury St Edmunds. You’ll split your time between hands-on leadership in homes and off-rota management to keep quality strong, teams engaged and rotas sustainable.

This role sits within our operations leadership. You’ll be supported with structured off-rota time, coaching and training and you’ll gain knowledge across home delivery, people leadership, and quality/compliance, building genuine readiness for a future Locality Manager post (if that’s your ambition).

You will:

• Lead day-to-day home delivery that puts people we support at the centre — co-producing plans, promoting rights, choice and dignity, and embedding Activate/person-centred practice.
• Design and maintain rotas (published 4+ weeks ahead) that meet individual needs and contractual requirements, balancing quality, safety, and colleague wellbeing.
• Supervise, coach, and develop colleagues — from recruitment and induction through to supervisions, capability, attendance, and mandatory training compliance.
• Drive compliance and quality — health & safety, risk assessments, safeguarding, information governance, and audit follow-through.
• Partner with families and professionals, promoting transparent communication and strong relationships in line with our values and Family Charter
• Contribute to budget, maintaining accurate records and deploying resources to deliver support within agreed budgets.
• Participate in on-call, occasional spot checks (incl. nights) and provide flexible cover where needed to keep people safe and homes stable.

About you

This role is ideal for an experienced deputy/Assistant Manager ready to step into a broader management remit within a supportive organisation. You will bring:

• Proven experience supporting people with learning disabilities and/or autism, with confidence in risk-aware, person-centred practice and Active Support/Activate approaches.
• People leadership skills — you set standards, role-model best practice, hold fair/firm conversations and build engaged, high-performing teams.
• Quality and compliance mindset — you understand what good looks like and how CQC fundamental standards translate day-to-day.
• Comfortable balancing off-rota tasks (audits, reviews, rota planning, data checks) with time in-home leading by example.
• A full UK driving licence and use of a car.

A Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care/Leadership & Management is desirable, or willingness to work towards it with our support.

Rewards that make a difference  

• A competitive payrate with uplift for overtime you chose to work.
• Flexible shift patterns to suit your needs.
• 30 days paid Annual Leave (including public holidays – pro rata).
• Opportunities for career progression.
• We offer a salary advance scheme where you can access up to 50% of the money you've earned before payday.
• High Street Discounts – Retail and Entertainment (supermarkets, hospitality, pubs, cinema etc.)
• Life Assurance and Company Pension.
• Industry leading training.
• Enhanced DBS paid for by us.
