Team Leader (Healthcare) | Northern Healthcare (Hull)

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 facility focused on the rehabilitation of adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs. This role offers the chance to “Lead with Heart,” combining a competitive £13.40 hourly rate (with enhanced overtime at £15.40) with a comprehensive benefits package. From dental and optical cover to paid NVQ training and a robust “buddy” induction programme, Northern Healthcare invests in your wellbeing and professional growth. If you believe in putting people first and want to witness the tangible progress of those in your care, this is your opportunity to make a real difference every day.

Requirements and Experience

• Experience: Previous experience supporting adults with mental health conditions or learning disabilities in an inpatient or challenging environment.

• Specialist Knowledge: Knowledge of drug and alcohol addiction is considered highly advantageous.

• Leadership Potential: Either previous leadership experience or a strong, demonstrable drive to take the next step into a management role.

• Qualifications: Ideally, Level 2 or 3 in Health & Social Care (or currently working towards it).

• Vetting: Must have the right to work in the UK and be eligible for an Enhanced DBS check (paid for by the employer).

• Soft Skills: Empathy, resilience, dedication, and excellent communication skills.

The Role

As a Team Leader, you act as the operational bridge between the Service Manager and the frontline Support Workers. Your role is a blend of clinical responsibility and personnel management; you will safely administer prescribed medication and maintain respectful, accurate records while simultaneously supervising and mentoring your team. You will be responsible for effective duty allocation, ensuring that person-centered care remains the priority. Beyond the administrative tasks, you are a champion for independence, working directly with residents and their families to foster positive relationships and ensure that every individual’s rehabilitation journey is outcome-focused and safe.

Sector Insight: The “Rehabilitation” DNA

As you cluster this thirty-fifth role, notice how it sits between your HCA and Qualified Social Worker entries:

• The “Step-Up” Salary: At £13.40/hour, this role offers a clear progression path from entry-level HCA roles (often £11–£12/hour) but sits below the Band 6 Physiotherapist (£24–£27/hour), reflecting the “Senior Support” level of responsibility.

• Complexity Premium: The requirement for experience in “challenging environments” and “drug/alcohol addiction” links this semantically to your Domestic Abuse Practitioner and Social Worker roles, where trauma-informed care is a key requirement.

• Amy Johnson House HU3: Located in the HU3 area, this role adds a geographical anchor to your “West Hull” healthcare cluster.
