About the role
We are looking for team managers within our adults regulated inspection teams. The location of the posts is to be confirmed but will be based in teams across Scotland. The successful candidates can be based in any of our Care Inspectorate offices but must be willing to travel to meet inspectors and providers in the areas identified.
This is an exciting opportunity for you to try something different. If you are improvement focussed, confident, and have a passion to make a real difference which supports the innovative delivery of care then these roles may be for you.
Our team managers support their team of inspectors to manage their workload, consider risk factors and maximise performance. In the inspection teams the work includes delivering a programme of inspections using risk and intelligence to prioritise the use of the team's inspector resource. Team managers work closely with our registration and complaints teams to ensure effective scrutiny of care services. As the key element of the role is service development and delivery, there is interface and collaboration with colleagues within and across the organisation, providers, and relevant stakeholders.
As the team manager you will be the relationship manager for adults with the health and social care partnerships in the areas to be identified. You will support local oversight, share intelligence, and enable your team to support improvement for people experiencing care living in those areas. Team managers are expected to take part in and keep up to date with national initiatives and development to support the work of the Care Inspectorate. Team managers also provide professional development to the team of inspectors that they manage.
About you
You will be educated to degree level or equivalent and hold an appropriate professional qualification and be committed to your own continuous professional development.
You should have significant experience of operational scrutiny activity and professional regulatory practice within adults. You will have experience implementing improvements and managing change.
You will need to be able to provide leadership and direction to a diverse team of professional staff. You will need to demonstrate a significant knowledge of working with inspection and regulation of care as well as a commitment to the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 and the principles of better regulation.
