An exciting opportunity has arisen within the office of the Care at Home team based in Kirkwall.
As a Social Care Co-ordinator (SSC) you will play a vital role in the management and provision of Care at Home services on the Orkney Mainland and throughout the Isles.
You will support the Registered Manager and our geographically based teams to ensure the effective and efficient delivery of a high-quality Care at Home service to those individuals on service.
You will work with individual service users, families and partner agencies to develop person-centred care at home packages that will ensure that the individual’s outcomes are met and individuals are supported to remain as independent as possible in their own homes. You will assess the needs of each service users’ outcomes and create support plans that demonstrate they meet the individual’s needs.
You will have active participation in quality assurance systems such as observing staff practice, reviewing of care packages, risk assessments and auditing of files. Social Care Co-ordinators play an important role in the recruitment and induction of new staff and are actively involved in the delivery of in-house training.
Line management and supervision of a number of care at home staff, organising and chairing Team Meetings and ensuring the care at home staff are well supported in their roles are key elements of a SCC’s remit.
In order to be considered for a SCC role candidates will have to hold either an SVQ4 in Social Services and Health care, or a practice qualification that meets the SSSC registration requirements as a Supervisor in a Care at Home Service i.e. HNC in Health and Social Care, SVQ3 (SCQF7) in Health and Social Care. Preferably candidates will also hold a supervisory or management qualification but where the supervisory or management qualification is not held, this qualification must be achieved within the first period of registration.
You must be able to travel efficiently and effectively between various work locations within Orkney to meet the operational requirements of the Service.
