Assistant Service Leader

Grow with us. Lead with purpose.

Beyond Limits, rated OUTSTANDING by the Care Quality Commission, is looking for an Assistant Service Leader to join our passionate and dedicated team. This exciting development opportunity is ideal for someone who is committed to person-centred support, thrives on leadership, and wants to make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

Location: Devon and Somerset

Hours: 37.5 per week

Interview dates: 13th and 15th of October

Contract Type: Initial 12-month appointment. Internal applicants will retain their substantive post.

In this role, you will be supported and mentored as you develop towards overseeing three individual teams. You'll play a key role in developing and inspiring teams, maintaining high standards of support and quality documentation, and helping to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of services. Alongside office-based responsibilities, you'll contribute to delivering our strategic vision by ensuring important information is communicated effectively across teams. You will also work directly with one person we support each week, where required, although this may increase depending on the needs of the teams.

As your confidence and experience grow, you will join the organisational on-call rota, providing support to teams across the South West during emergencies or when additional guidance is needed. This means you'll need to be resilient, calm under pressure, solution-focused, and able to support others through challenges. Occasional travel may be required to support teams or people we support during emergency situations.

This is a rewarding and fast-paced role that will challenge you, stretch your skills, and support your personal and professional growth. Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to see the real impact of your leadership by helping people we support live fulfilling lives and enabling teams to deliver outstanding support every day.

This opportunity is an ideal next step for Team Leaders, but it may also suit experienced Senior Support Workers or anyone who has demonstrated leadership and are ready for a new challenge.

The post is initially offered for 12 months, with regular reviews, dedicated support, and the opportunity to progress into a Service Leader role.

We are looking for someone who can bring:

• Leadership experience
• Adaptability, resilience, and a positive approach to change
• Values that align with Beyond Limits' vision and culture
• A strong understanding of person-centred support and organisational culture
• Excellent relationship-building and people management skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Good knowledge of Beyond Limits processes, including ISFs, Service Designs, Working Policies, HR and finance (for internal applicants)

You will believe in people's potential, hold high aspirations for those you support, and be committed to promoting true citizenship. You'll champion Beyond Limits' values, embrace change as an opportunity for growth, and lead with empathy, emotional intelligence, and integrity.

If you are passionate about person-centred support, already put these principles into practice, and see yourself as a thoughtful leader who is resilient, emotionally intelligent, and committed to continuous learning, we'd love to hear from you.
