You will also be responsible for the effective day to day management, coordinating available resources, contributing to strategic objectives and outcomes of the service, and ensuring safe and effective delivery of support to Citizens, carers and families.

You will provide leadership to staff acting as a positive role model, fostering self-awareness and professional development whilst ensuring that directorate objectives are understood and that members of staff work together to achieve these objectives.

A relevant qualification in Social Work, Occupational Therapy, or equivalent is essential.

You will be required to have a good working knowledge of the Care Act, Safeguarding Adults the Mental Capacity act 2005 and Best Interest and Health and Social Care eligibility criteria.
