• Facilitate carer and service user engagement forums to promote feedback and growth.
• Work closely with finance, quality improvement and commissioning teams to manage budgets and develop annual service plans.
• Drive recruitment, training, and development of Shared Lives carers.
• Handle complaints and incidents with professionalism, ensuring learning and improvement.
• Promote safeguarding and uphold the rights, privacy, and dignity of every individual.
What We're Looking For
• Qualified Social Worker (required)
• Management qualification suitable for CQC registered manager status (preferred)
• Proven leadership in adult social care, ideally with experience in Shared Lives
• A thorough understanding of the Care Act, safeguarding, DoLS, and person-centred care
