Practice Leader

2 weeks ago

St Austell, United Kingdom Havencare Homes and Support Limited Full time

**Salary**:£12.50 per hour**

**Closing Date**:7th July 2023**

Havencare is a forward-thinking and growing charity. We have been making a difference for 35 years, changing the lives of people who have learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries, and other support needs. Our big aims include every person having a home that is right for them, and support for the life they choose.

At Havencare, first and foremost, we are looking for outstanding people who align with our values of Transparency, Quality and Engagement.

**About the Role**

As Practice Leader for this service, you will work with the Hub Leader & Registered Manager to role model outstanding support whilst also undertaking duties such as Rota planning, appraisals & supervisions, risk assessments, support planning and coordinating the regular training of your team. You will be able to use your IT skills to effectively use basic systems designed for efficient reporting.

You will work on-shift, leading your team in outstanding practice whilst overseeing 2 people we support and their staff teams. You will lead the principles of “nothing about me without me”, ensuring the supported person’s voice (behaviours, expressions, actions, words) is heard, and they are leading their support planning, delivery, and review.

This opportunity is based within a supported lifestyle project for 7 individuals living in their own flats who receive 1:1 support at different times of the day and have access to our shared support hub. The hub is a unique dimension to Supported Living and you will be part of a team supporting individuals as a point of contact, with their planned activities and personal care requirements, as well as moving & handling people and providing distress behavior support (when required).

We are looking for people who can engage with different personalities and bring energy, adaptability, creativity, humour, patience, and commitment to a support leadership role where every day is different.

An understanding of positive behaviour support (PBS) and leading PBS in practice would be an advantage, although not essential because we can develop these skills and experience with the right person who has the attitude and aptitude to learn and deliver at this level.

You will have experience of providing services for people with learning disabilities and autism, familiarity with supervising a team, and a current working knowledge of CQC regulation would also be advantageous.

You will work closely with family, external agencies, and your colleagues - using the expertise of others to ensure access to a holistic, truly person-centered service. You will demonstrate your ability to plan, deliver, and review support on an outcomes-focused pathway, considering positive risk taking to develop skills and have meaningful experiences. You will be driven to continuously improve the service and performance of your team to enable the people we support to direct their own lives by having opportunity, choice, and control.

This is a 24 hour, 365 days per year service and you will need to be flexible to work as the service requires, including mornings, daytime, nights and weekends.

**About Kerry**:

- Can you knit while singing to ABBA?
- Confidence to support someone with epilepsy is desirable but committing to understanding her experience of past trauma is essential.

- Will you like visiting the theatre as much as Kerry?
- Are you willing to get your hands messy while dying her hair and painting her nails?

- Kerry can sometimes get distressed and needs someone to not take what she is saying personally but help her to work through how she is feeling
- Kerry needs you to be a driver with a clean licence because she will want and need you to drive her car.

**About You**:

- Knowing Kerry well we feel that patient and calm natured people would work best.
- Someone that will work towards encouraging her to explore manging her health needs
- Experience and understanding individuals that can become distressed is advantageous.
- A robust and methodical leader who is not afraid to be an active team player is essential.
- Excellent time management and organisational skills are essential.

- Thrive on working closely with family, external agencies, and your colleagues - using the expertise of others to ensure access to a holistic, truly person-centred service.
- Driven to continuously improve provision and performance of your team to enable Kerry to direct her life by having opportunity, choice and control regardless of capacity.
- A driver (with clean driving licence) to be able to meet Kerry’s preference is a non-negotiable as she will want you to drive her car.
