You’re warm, approachable, and a strong communicator, someone people trust and feel confident around.

You’re someone who stands up for people’s rights, choices, and independence because you believe everyone deserves a full and meaningful life, on their own terms.

Take part in a 1 in 3 weekend on call rota with support across services
Keep care plans live, relevant, and co produced with the people we support
Support people to understand their housing rights and access appropriate services
Promote privacy, independence, and choice in everyday life
Lead team meetings that are purposeful and engaging
Work alongside families and professionals to ensure support is truly effective
Oversee the chicken rota because happy chickens equals happy Hill Street
What You’ll Get
5.6 weeks annual leave plus your birthday off plus bank holidays
Online GP access for you and your dependents
Perkbox EAP, rewards, recognition and wellbeing support
Ongoing development and genuine career progression
On call bonus plus additional pay for on call hours

Real opportunities to grow, we promote from within
The Bottom Line
This role is for someone who shows up, leads with purpose, communicates clearly, and champions the rights of the people we support while occasionally checking on the chickens.
If Hill Street sounds like your kind of place, we would love to hear from you.
