Team Manager

We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Team Manager to lead our Discharge Service in the West Locality. The role is based at the Royal United Hospital but covers a range of settings, including rehabilitation beds in community hospital settings. This is part of a broader county-wide discharge service that offers supportive, integrated working.

We provide a network of support, guidance, and professional development to support you in this role. This role is crucial to ensuring efficient and effective service delivery for adults in Wiltshire, supporting the flow across acute and community settings to achieve positive outcomes for our customers. This includes ensuring “HomeFirst” principles are at the centre of our practice and ensuring assessments/support delivery is provided in a safe and timely manner.

You will play a key role in promoting integrated working with Acute hospitals, Banes, Swindon, Wiltshire Integrated Care Board (BSW ICB), Reablement services, and community partners within the specified locality. As the Team Manager, you will drive good performance management and implement service evaluation systems to maintain high-quality services. You will ensure that Health and Safety compliance, including risk assessments and lone working protocols, are adhered to.

You will support your team through supervision, appraisal, and governance arrangements, ensuring compliance with legislative and regulatory frameworks. You will collaborate with the Head of Service regarding service development and implement change programmes as required.

We are looking for someone with a relevant professional qualification in social care or health, such as a Degree/Diploma in Social Work or Occupational Therapy. A management qualification to level 5 or equivalent experience is essential, along with at least 2 years of management/supervisory experience.

If you are ready to take on this rewarding challenge and have the skills and experience required, we would love to hear from you. This position comes with a 7.5% market supplement payment. All market supplement payments are subject to review on an annual basis.

Wiltshire Council is a friendly, welcoming place to work, with a 'One Council' ethos. Our hybrid working model means office staff are on site for at least half their hours, community-based staff carry out at least half their admin time in a workplace, and customer-facing roles work entirely from their service location. We are committed to creating a workplace where positive relationships thrive and everyone feels engaged, supported and able to do their best. We do not tolerate discrimination, bullying or harassment. Everyone is expected to promote a culture of inclusion, dignity, trust and respect, guided by our vision and Our Identity.

We understand that AI tools can support you in preparing job applications. However, we value authenticity and would encourage you to ensure your submission genuinely reflects your own experiences, skills, and motivations. While we welcome applications from job seekers who require skilled worker sponsorship, we are not able to issue a defined certificate of sponsorship due to limitations in our sponsorship capacity.

We are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and to the principles of inclusion and diversity in both employment and the delivery of services.
