The Opportunity

This is not a role where you're walking into a service that has had constant management changes.

- Managing safeguarding concerns, incidents and complaints where required.
- Building strong relationships with service users, families, commissioners and healthcare professionals.
- Ensuring care plans and risk assessments remain accurate, current and person-centred.
- Supporting the continued development and growth of the service.
- Managing staff performance and providing effective supervision and support.
- Participating in the on-call rota and providing operational support when required.
- Ensuring the service consistently delivers safe, compassionate and person-centred care.
