Belle Vie’s vision is a society where everyone in the care ecosystem is valued and supported.

Adult social care is in crisis. Despite unprecedented demand, the care sector is under-resourced, stigmatised and undervalued. Demand continues to accelerate, far outstripping supply. The root cause is that people don’t like the roles on offer in the current time-and-task, command-and-control model of delivering care. This crisis shows no sign of slowing.

At Belle Vie we are treating the root causes of the care crisis, through a radical new way of working which is built on strong communities, thriving relationships and technology that drives efficiencies, resulting in better outcomes for all.

We are bringing life and energy back to the care sector. Our teams build communities that care and focus on people, not tasks. We care about people’s needs, hopes, desires and fears. Care is about supporting a life well lived, it’s work with meaning, not just a job.

Inspired by the success of the Dutch Buurtzorg model, Belle Vie operates self-managing teams of care workers who work together to serve their local neighbourhood. This innovative and new model is enabled and scaled by our proprietary Wellbeing OS technology platform and funded by a monthly subscription. Belle Vie has already achieved great success since launching in 2019, with 83% of supported families highly recommending us and multiple national award wins to our name.

Do you naturally have a “coaching” rather than “managing” style? Do you have experience of leading high quality services in care? Do you find joy in making a difference in the lives of care workers as well as those receiving care? Are you experienced in, or curious about, new models of care such as self-management and outcomes-based ways of working?

Do you enjoy being out in the community, building relationships and supporting people face to face?

We are looking for a Coach to mentor and develop our Care Workers to deliver the highest standards of person centred care and to thrive in self managing teams. This is a hands on, community based role, coaching, mentoring and supporting our teams.
