Team Leader

Job Introduction

Phoenix House is a newly refurbished Edwardian property providing a high‑quality therapeutic living environment for adults with mild to moderate learning disabilities and probable mental health needs. The service supports five residents on their recovery journey, many of whom may have experienced trauma or have current or historic involvement with the criminal justice system.

Our aim is to help residents rebuild stability, improve wellbeing, develop independence, and progress safely toward independent living within 18–24 months. Our ethos is:

You will combine operational leadership, oversight of risks and needs, and hands‑on support, modelling best practice in trauma‑informed care while helping residents achieve meaningful progress.

In a role where no two shifts are the same, you will take the lead in implementing and driving high performance standards throughout the team and the service, underpinned with a clear vision and strong values.

This is a rota‑based role. You’ll work as part of a fair, well‑planned rota that includes some evenings, weekends, and sleep‑ins, and you will also take part in the on‑call manager rotation. We are committed to ensuring staff wellbeing, flexibility where possible, and a positive work–life balance.

Resident Support & Recovery

• Maintain a small caseload, delivering structured key‑working sessions where needed
• Ensure support plans are personalised, goal‑focused, and regularly reviewed
• Promote independence, routines, community integration, education, and positive social networks
• Work closely with residents to build life skills and confidence

Multi‑Agency Partnership Work

• Act as a primary point of contact for Manchester City Council, Probation Services, Positive Pathways Social Workers, mental health professionals, and other partners
• Attend multi‑disciplinary meetings and contribute to coordinated support and risk planning
• Build strong relationships that enhance resident outcomes and service quality

Service Development

• Contribute to shaping and embedding a new service model
• Support innovation, problem‑solving, and best practice approaches
• Help create a supportive, high‑performing team culture from the ground up

The Ideal Candidate

You are an emotionally resilient, compassionate leader who understands the importance of structure, consistency, and therapeutic relationships. You balance empathy with strong professional boundaries and are motivated by the opportunity to build an exceptional service.

Essential:

• Experience supporting people with mental health needs, learning disabilities, or complex/challenging backgrounds
