**What to expect**

The company is currently in transition and is introducing numerous organisational changes, that are required due to inevitable changes from the pandemic. Firstly, we are to improve the company structure to better define roles and responsibilities, including creating the Care Team and the Admin Team within management. Secondly, we have removed the hierarchy between supervisors, managers, and assistants to create more equality in role. The company intends to encourage the Care Team to use their strengths, to teach one another through peer support and hosting clinics, to share the significant skills held by team members, to benefit each other’s development.

You'll be allocated time to complete compliance work but will also be allocated to shifts with clients in the care setting. Although the role can be challenging, there is now an increased focus on and commitment to providing support and training to those in leadership roles within adult social care. You may need to travel during the working day when you have responsibility for a case load and to attend meetings.

**Career Progression**:
Although care management isn't a degree-entry profession, many leaders have management and leadership qualifications and some go on to do further qualifications within their areas of specialism, for example, in dementia or autism studies.

Leaders can develop career pathways in nursing, social work, occupational therapy, advocacy or a health profession (NHS). In some cases, where the role includes both clinical and commercial management, a nursing q
