We are looking for candidates with a passion for enhancing the quality of life for the people we support, who are at the heart of our community service teams. We’re currently searching for someone to join us in leading six supported living services in Dorset. Our office and services provide a welcoming and friendly environment, with a dynamic team that supports a fantastic group of people! This role will cover services in Bournemouth, Christchurch, Walkford, Poole, Wareham, and Blandford Forum, so a driver with their own transport is a must. The on-call rota requires you to be available one in every three weekends.
The successful candidate for this role will be responsible for managing a team of colleagues with the purpose of helping people gain more independence in their daily lives. You could be developing and implementing person-centred support plans, conducting care needs assessments, inducting new colleagues, completing supervisions/appraisals, carrying out medication competencies and medication audits, attending multi-disciplinary meetings, completing reports, and generally assisting the Branch Manager in the day-to-day management of our services.
This is an amazing role for someone who is looking to really make a difference to the lives of others, whether that’s helping our colleagues grow in confidence or supporting the people we work with to gain independence and achieve their goals.
We’re interested in candidates who have both the right experience and the right values. This is why, at this service, the successful candidate should have previous experience in a care management role and hold a Level 3 qualification in Health & Social Care, as well as experience working with individuals with autism and challenging behaviours. You must also have a full UK manual driving licence and have held it for 12 months or longer.
Why choose us?
We embrace people’s differences and encourage you to Be You, and so long as you’ve got the passion to make someone’s life better, we can give you all the skills and development opportunities you need to build a great career.
We encourage our staff to Grow Together through our excellent training programme, starting at induction and following you through your career, with opportunity for promotion and progression as well as job security in a sector leading organisation.
