Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We work hard to enrich the lives of people with many different care needs. It’s exciting and rewarding work, and we’re full of pride and passion for what we do.

Since the early days we’ve grown to provide many innovative and bespoke care services to thousands of people across England and Scotland. We want to provide support based on the principles of choice, dignity and respect. This resonates in our vision of ‘Your Life, Your Choice’ and our strategy ‘Best Lives Possible’.

We have strong values and we’re proud to pioneer new ways of delivering social care to stand out in our sector. In the past two years we have won or made the shortlist for over 100 national and regional awards!

We are also focused on our people. Our Support Workers are dedicated and passionate about going ‘the extra mile’ for the people we support and in return, we go the extra mile for them by investing in pay, recognition, wellbeing and continued professional and personal development.

We will provide you with all the training, support and personal protective equipment you need in your role and will help you develop should you decide to develop your career with us.

Who you’ll be supporting & more aboutomas role:

You will lead and manage a team of around 15 frontline staff working within an independent living service to make a real difference to the lives of the 4 young people we currently support with a range of support needs including learning disabilities and complex mental health needs. It is vital that you are capable of ensuring the team supports these individuals without prejudgment or stereotyping. As this is a growing service, we would anticipate an increase in both the size of the staff team, the breadth of the support needs of the people we support and in the number of people we support in the future.

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 whilst 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 supervision, quality assurance, monitoring, regulatory requirements and day‑to‑day management of the staff team. The successful candidate will also be responsible and accountable for the overall management of the Service, ensuring that all aspects of support and service delivery are focused on meeting the needs and-sized preferences of the people supported.

The Service Leader Level 1 will report into a more experienced Service Leader (Level 3) within the region who will work closely with them.

This is a great opportunity to make a genuine difference where you will be responsible Conde for leading an engaged and motivated team to change lives and deliver person‑centred outcomes for every person we support. You will also take the lead by driving performance, setting the pace and direction within services, promoting a positive and passionate culture, and ensuring that services are appropriately and effectively resourced to change lives for the better.

Experience working in complex care within a social or health care setting is essential.

You will have an upbeat positive manner as well as having a genuine passion for supporting people to become a part of their local and wider community.

You will also have experience working with people supported who present behaviours that require intensive support planning and management to ensure their safety and quality of life at all times.

In addition, you will be comfortable using basic IT systems that are required within the role – training can be offered to support this area.

You will also hold a professional qualification in Health and Social Care, i.e. Nurse, Social Worker, SVQ Level 3 plus supervisory units (Scotland) / Care Management Level 3 (England).

Due to the nature of the service, itUBLISH vital that the successful applicant has a full, clean UK driving licence and their own car.
