Devon County Council has a forward-thinking, proactive approach to continuously shaping and delivering innovative professional practice. We are passionate about championing and promoting better outcomes for people and communities across Devon whilst supporting our staff.

Ensuring that effective practice for people with disabilities is seen as an organisational priority and that continuous improvement is integral to practice.
• Providing advice, support and physical presence in the community and county wide teams to develop the skills, and confidence to support people with disabilities who have complex needs.
• Helping drive the culture change to promote greater independence and progression model through a strength-based approach with better access to information and advice, communitybased options and TEC solutions.
• Ensuring that managers are monitoring risk to timely, safe, and effective service delivery, alerting more senior managers to risk and issues as these arise or increase.
• Analysing relevant practice and performance data to identify strengths and weaknesses in operational practice.

You will need to demonstrate good communication across all mediums (electronic, written, verbal) with an ability to take account of the audience that is receiving the information.

As a place to live and work, Devon is hard to beat with top-performing schools, universities, vibrant cities, pretty villages and some of the most scenic coast and countryside in the UK.

• Our Disability Leads will work closely with the Disability Practice Lead. You will receive excellent support and supervision, with regular opportunities to discuss and reflect on your practice, both with your line manager and peers.
• We are committed to your continuous professional development and preceptorship, doing all we can to help you excel in your career and with new and exciting opportunities for career development.
