Support Manager (Preston)

Be the spark behind great support. Build, lead, transform.

At Affinity Trust, we support people to live the kind of life most of us take for granted. One that's ordinary, fulfilling, and truly led by personal choice.

Our role is to make life happen in the way the individual wants and needs. As a Support Manager, you will lead your team to deliver high-quality person-centred support in line with our values.

Your mission (should you choose to accept it)

You'll be the founding force behind a new supported living service. That means:

• Creating a culture where everyone thrives
• Building and leading a brand-new team from the ground up
• You lead with heart, head and hustle!
• Collaboration is key - you will empower people and those important to them, to make decisions which affect their lives

This is not just what we do, it's who we are.

You'll love this if you thrive on challenge, being creative and supporting people to do what matters most to them, in a way that feels right for them.

If you've ever thought "we could do this so much better..." this is your moment to prove it and create something truly impactful.

How will I be effective?

• You will show others what good support looks like
• You'll help teams grow in their confidence and skill so that people get their support in a way they like and need
• You'll build effective relationships with families, friends and wider support networks
• You'll encourage your team to think big and stay true to putting people at the heart of everything, so that people we support can shape their own lives, chase what matters to them and feel proud every step of the way
• You'll make best use of the resources available to you and offer excellent planning and execution to contribute to the success of the new location

On top of all of that, you'll be joining us in living our values:

We work together | We have courage | We give our best | People are at the heart of everything we do.

What do I get in return?

We have a range of benefits that you can mix and match to suit you, such as:

• Care Friends - our employee referral and reward app. You'll receive points which can be exchanged for extra money.
• Wagestream - an app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.
• Blue light card - we will reimburse your Blue Light Card membership which provides discounts in your favourite shops and restaurants
• Simply Health - Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24-hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians and access to many more health benefits.
• Vivup - spread the cost of home and electronics items, or a bike to cycle to work through fixed salary reductions throughout the year.
• Buy and sell annual leave - transfer windows open twice a year.
• Pension and Life Assurance - you'll be enrolled into our Scottish Widows pension scheme and Life Assurance scheme

Ready to build something that matters?

This is more than a job. It's a chance to lead with heart, make change happen and see the direct impact of your work every single day.

Apply now and let's make it possible, together.
