Team Leader (Healthcare) | Northern Healthcare (Amy Johnson House)

The Opportunity

Are you a compassionate Support Worker ready to step into leadership, or an experienced Team Leader looking for a values-driven environment? Northern Healthcare is seeking a dedicated individual to join Amy Johnson House in Hull—a specialist facility providing independent living with 24/7 support. With a competitive rate of £13.40 per hour and enhanced overtime at £15.40, this role offers a structured pathway into management. You’ll be at the heart of an “outcome-focused” rehabilitation journey, helping adults with mental health needs or learning disabilities regain their independence. Beyond the salary, you’ll receive a premium benefits package including comprehensive healthcare cover (dental, optical, and physio), NVQ training opportunities, and a supportive “buddy” programme. If you lead with heart and believe in putting people first, this is your chance to shape brighter futures in a “Good” rated clinical setting.

Key Responsibilities & Clinical Duties

• Operational Leadership: Supporting the Service Manager in the day-to-day running of the facility and effectively allocating duties across the team.

• Staff Mentorship: Supervising, mentoring, and motivating a team of Support Workers to deliver exceptional, person-centred care.

• Clinical Safety: Safely administering prescribed medication and maintaining accurate, respectful clinical records.

• Independence Promotion: Championing the rehabilitation of residents, focusing on daily living skills and empowerment.

• Safeguarding & Compliance: Acting as a guardian of safeguarding, confidentiality, and best practices within a challenging environment.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Building and maintaining positive, professional relationships with residents’ families and external healthcare partners.

The Role

In this position, you are the “Bridge” between senior management and frontline care. Your 38.5-hour week is dynamic and highly rewarding; you might spend your morning leading a team briefing on new care plans and your afternoon providing 1-to-1 support to a resident navigating a complex rehabilitation milestone. You aren’t just “managing”; you are a role model for Northern Healthcare’s core values—Positive, Respectful, Honest, Understanding, and Dedicated. Success in this role requires a high level of resilience and the ability to handle challenging behaviors with empathy, ensuring that every staff member and resident feels supported and safe.

Sector Insight: The “Rehabilitation” DNA

As you cluster this fifty-ninth role, notice how it strengthens the “Healthcare & Advocacy” network of your Hull data:

• The “Step-Up” Opportunity: While your Qualified Social Worker and Home Manager roles require extensive professional registration, this role offers a vital entry point into management for those with Level 2/3 Health & Social Care or relevant “lived experience.”

• Specialist Niche: Amy Johnson House focuses on “Independent Living,” which differs from the high-dependency environment of your Bupa entry. This highlights Hull’s diverse range of care models, from residential nursing to supported rehabilitation.

• Financial Tiering: At £13.40/hr, this role sits comfortably above the School Caretaker (£12.60/hr) but below the QA Manager, representing the “Junior Management” tier that is currently the fastest-growing job segment in the Humber region.
