At SuperCare''s first EBD/SEMH home, the young people are vulnerable, complex, and in need of structure. They are at risk of going missing, may self-harm, and often need encouragement with simple daily routines like eating, hygiene, or joining activities. They talk openly about their past - including very difficult experiences - and they need staff who can listen with compassion and without judgement. As Day Team Leader, you''ll guide the team through these challenges, keeping everyone consistent, calm, and focused on safety.

  • Supervise, mentor, and support Day Coaches and Seniors.

  • Step in during incidents, modelling professionalism and safe practice.

  • Maintain records and liaise with managers.

  • Drive to activities and appointments (full UK licence required).



What We''re Looking For:

We''re seeking leaders who can balance empathy with authority:

  • Strong experience with self-harm, trauma, or exploitation risks.

  • Skilled in safeguarding, missing protocols, and mental health first aid.

  • Confident leading teams through complex situations.

  • Resilient when hearing unsettling or difficult disclosures.

  • Physically fit, reliable, and proactive.

  • Must hold a full UK driving licence.



Benefits Working at SuperCare:

We''ll back your leadership with the training and support you need:

  • Salary 20% above average.

  • 36 days of advanced training each year.

  • Fully funded Level 3 Diploma (if not already held).

  • Private healthcare and 24/7 GP access.

  • Gym stipend and wellbeing package.
