About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and passionate Assistant Locality Manager to join our supported living home in Northwest London. This is a unique opportunity for someone deeply committed to improving the lives of people with learning disabilities and autism through the principles of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS). You will join a well-established team proud of the impact they make every day.

At Dimensions, PBS is more than a framework—it is a way of life. It involves understanding the reasons behind behaviour and supporting individuals to develop new skills within their own environment, enhancing quality of life rather than restricting it. As Assistant Locality Manager, you will play a key role in embedding PBS across the home, leading the development and implementation of person-centred strategies that reflect the needs and aspirations of the people we support.

You will work closely with individuals, their families, and professionals to ensure support plans are effective and consistently delivered. Your responsibilities include conducting behavioural assessments, coaching and mentoring support staff, and monitoring PBS plan commitments. You will respond to crises with compassion and professionalism, focusing on understanding and de-escalation rather than control. Your leadership will help foster a culture where people feel safe, valued, and empowered.

This is a demanding and dynamic role with no two days the same. You will collaborate with a team of CQC Registered Managers to achieve excellence across our homes. A strong network of support is available, including specialists in PBS, health, person-centred planning, compliance, HR, and learning and development.

The role primarily focuses on managing the support of one individual, with occasional support to the locality manager across other locations.

Dimensions is one of the UK's largest providers of support for people with learning disabilities and autism. Recognised as a Great Place to Work, we are committed to nurturing talent at every level through award-winning development programmes that have helped many leaders progress from frontline roles to senior positions.

Requirements

Experience
Proven experience in a leadership or management role within supported living or a similar care setting is essential. Experience working with people with learning disabilities and autism using Positive Behaviour Support principles is highly desirable.

About you
Passionate about improving lives and committed to person-centred care. Strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to mentor and support staff. Compassionate, professional, and able to respond effectively to challenging situations. Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team and maintain a positive, inclusive culture.

Qualifications
A relevant qualification in health and social care or leadership is preferred but not mandatory. An enhanced DBS check is required for this role, funded by Dimensions. Candidates must have the right to work in the UK. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and are committed to inclusive employment practices.
