We want every person in Doncaster to live in the place they call home with the people and things that they love, in communities where they look out for one another, doing things that matter to them.

We’d love you to come and work with us, and alongside our partners and Doncaster people, to help make this vision a reality.

As a valued member of our ambitious team, you’ll be our Direct Payment/Self Directed Support Strategic Lead.

You’ll review and develop our approach to Self-Directed Support and Direct Payments, to make sure people are supported to live the life they choose to lead.

You’ll work closely with Doncaster people with lived experience of seeking and drawing on support, and senior officers both internally and externally, to help shape the future of both the service and of wider community support, tangibly benefitting the lives of local people.

You’ll have knowledge and lived experience of Direct Payments or Self-Directed Support, which could include current or previous personal experience or experience from a family member, partner or friend who might otherwise struggle to manage without your help

A relational, rights-based approach and a commitment to wellbeing in its broadest sense will come naturally to you. You’ll have the skills to turn your values into action. You will understand and role model the behaviours to lead in a complex system and be willing to work across organisational boundaries. Above all you’ll promote the human rights of the people we are here to serve. In doing so you’ll support the Adults, Wellbeing and Culture directorate to make best use of our resources and support high quality care and support in Doncaster.

You’ll get plenty of support as part of a friendly Council with a dynamic can-do culture. If you have the skills, determination and commitment to make a real difference and want an exciting job to influence and promote independence for all members or our communities, we want to hear from you.

In return for your hard work and dedication, we can offer you the chance to be part of a great team dedicated to ensuring that all people in Doncaster thrive. You will also have access to a variety of attractive employee benefits including competitive leave entitlement, a generous local government pension scheme, a wide range of well-being support and development opportunities. You will also have access to a range of staff discount and benefits schemes. More information on the benefits available to you as a City of Doncaster Council employee can be found in the attached benefits book.
