Overview
We have a rare and exciting opportunity for a caring and compassionate Service Leader (Level 1) to join our growing team in Dollar, Clackmannanshire. This is a great career opportunity within social care where you can continue making a real difference to the lives of others.
Responsibilities
You will lead and manage a team of around 15 frontline staff working within an independent living service to support four young people with a range of needs including learning disabilities and complex mental health needs. You will be responsible for the overall supervision, quality assurance, monitoring, regulatory requirements and day-to-day management of the staff team. You will ensure that all aspects of support and service delivery are focused on meeting the needs and preferences of the people supported. As this is a growing service, you may see an increase in team size, breadth of needs, and numbers supported in the future. The Service Leader Level 1 reports to a more experienced Service Leader (Level 3) within the region.
Knowledge and experience of working with this client group using person-centred planning techniques to deliver excellent support practices, including developing robust service designs, support strategies, and risk assessments while managing individual budgets in a supported living setting are essential. Experience supporting individuals with complex mental health concerns is also essential. You will be responsible for the overall management of the Service and day-to-day operations to meet the needs and preferences of the people supported. You will drive performance, set direction within services, promote a positive culture, and ensure services are resourced to change lives for the better.
You will be comfortable using basic IT systems; training can be offered. You will hold a professional qualification in Health and Social Care (e.g., Nurse, Social Worker, SVQ Level 3 plus supervisory units in Scotland or Care Management Level 3 in England). A full, clean UK driving licence and own car are required due to the nature of the service.
