LEAD WITH PURPOSE. SUPPORT WITH HEART.

Brightening Lives Ltd is seeking a passionate and experienced female Team Leader to join our expanding team in Harrogate. This is more than just a job — it’s a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact every single day.
This unique role combines hands-on support with operational leadership, offering the chance to shape and inspire a small team of Personal Assistants (PAs) delivering person-centred care for a woman with autism and a learning disability, living independently in her own home.
At Brightening Lives, we believe no one’s life should be limited by a health condition or disability. Our personalised, person-led approach enables people to thrive at home and in their communities. If you’re ready to lead with compassion, purpose, and professionalism, we’d love to hear from you.

• Deliver care that respects dignity, independence, and choice.
• Support daily routines, personal care, community activities, and holidays.
• Supervise, mentor, and appraise a small team of dedicated PAs.
• Manage rotas, annual leave, absence, and team wellbeing.
• Keep accurate records and contribute to care plans and risk assessments.
• Attend reviews and liaise with family members and health professionals.
• Ensure full compliance with training, policies, and CQC standards.
• Oversee medication, infection control, and health & safety.
• Use digital systems confidently for scheduling and reporting.
• Share responsibility for the on-call rota to ensure 24/7 support coverage.
