You will lead a dedicated staff team and work closely with Directors and the wider Management Team to maintain high standards of care, support and compliance while continuing to develop the service.
Managing and developing staff through supervision, support, training and performance management.
Overseeing care and support packages, ensuring they are person-centred, safe and responsive.

This is an opportunity to take a key leadership role within an established and growing organisation where quality, relationships and person-centred support really matter.
