Adults First Point of Contact (FPOC) - Lead a New Front Door for Adult Social Care
We are looking for an exceptional Team Manager to lead our new Adults First Point of Contact (FPOC) service – a multi-disciplinary team at the heart of Adult Social Care’s front door.
This is a unique opportunity to shape and lead a newly created service focused on prevention, early intervention, strengths-based practice and timely assessment. Bringing together Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Assessment & Review Officers, Community Connectors and Advanced Practice expertise, the FPOC team will provide a coordinated first response that ensures residents receive the right support at the right time.
As Team Manager, you will provide leadership, direction and oversight for the service, driving high-quality practice, effective triage and strong performance. You will work collaboratively with partners across health, housing, voluntary and community sectors to create seamless pathways that promote independence and prevent unnecessary escalation into long-term care.
We are seeking a motivated and innovative leader who:
- Has experience managing Adult Social Care services and multidisciplinary teams.
- Is passionate about prevention, independence and person-centred practice.
- Can lead service transformation and support colleagues through change.
- Demonstrates strong decision-making, performance management and partnership-working skills.
- Is committed to delivering excellent outcomes for residents.
This is an exciting opportunity to help design, develop and embed a new model of delivery that will shape the future of Adult Social Care front-door services.
Join us and lead a team where first contact truly makes a difference.
