Please Note:

This post is a readvertisement and we are looking to "cast our net" a bit wider so we have altered the Personal Specification to reflect this.

 

Senior Service Leader (full time)                                                                                    circa £28k p.a.

We are really excited to announce the development of a new role in the Central Team, which will combine leading a small number of services and organisational development. We think it’s a good mix of keeping a finger on the pulse of service delivery whilst ensuring creativity and innovation can happen across the organisation.

You can read below what a Service Leader’s role is and this is what you’d deliver for a small number of people we support and their support teams. For the ‘Senior’ part of the role you will be responsible for line managing a group of Service Leaders and playing a key role in  realising the organisation’s Strategic Plan. You will also play a large part in organisational and service development: reviewing and writing policy and procedure; ensuring quality assurance systems are maintained (and  further developed ) ; importing new ideas about ‘best practice’; sourcing and importing  innovative developments in respect of  service delivery; networking with external agencies. This isn’t an exhaustive list but covers what you will definitely be expected to deliver in your role. That said, true to our culture, we would encourage you to bring as much as you could to the role to help us stay at the cutting edge of Supported Living delivery and development.  

We think to be a good fit for this role you will:

 

• have a solid background in delivering services. We think it would be short sighted of us to say you must have experience of Supported Living but you should have the value base and belief that every person with a disability, regardless of their degree of dependence on support or the challenges they present services with, can be supported in a home of their own. You should know that when we have committed ourselves to supporting someone we don’t walk away when things get tough, we get creative and solution focused;
• be able and motivated to source new trends, ‘best practice’ models, legislative developments etc which would enhance our organisation. The ability to see potential in ideas/ systems etc, not solely social care orientated, and adapt appropriately will be a key skill for you. We really value people who are excited by innovation but are equally able to ‘dot the I’s and cross the T’s’;
• be able to engage and inspire others, so you’ll need to have really good ‘people’ skills. You’ll need to be person centred with both the people we support and those we employ, favouring a coaching and mentoring management style as opposed to ‘theory X’;
• have a high level of ability with written communication and a good level of ability with IT skills (use of Word, Outlook, use of internet etc);
• be great at  managing your workload and be flexible enough to adapt to changing demands whilst keeping a focus on the ‘big picture’ stuff;

We hope that’s given you a good idea of the role and, if you have the skills and abilities, interested you enough to apply. If you need any further information or would like an informal chat please give either June Jeffrey or Ian Williams a call on 01563 825555.

We plan to shortlist for this post on  Friday 19th March 2010. If you’re successful at this stage you’ll be invited to attend a whole day Selection Centre on Friday 26th March followed by a 1hour interview at some point on Saturday 27th March.

The closing date for this post is 17th March 2010. We look forward to reading your application.

Are you relaxed, reliable and good at motivating? If so we may have just the job for you!

 Would you like to join a new team supporting a young woman move into her first home in the Southside of Glasgow?  She’s looking for people who would help her win big time at pub quiz nights, help her run her home without lots of fuss, do things she enjoys (art, walking) and find new, cool stuff to try out. She tells us she’s great company, and we agree, but she’d like some support building her confidence.

She’s looking for a team stuffed full of people who are computer savvy, have good ideas for finding things to do outside of the house, enjoy cooking from scratch and like being organised but can be flexible when it makes sense. She gets on best with people who enjoy a wee bit of banter and are quite bubbly but who aren’t too big in the ‘personality department’. We think she’d also appreciate people who can be assertive and encouraging without being bossy.

This is a great opportunity to learn about developing a person centred service, working to build a person’s confidence and building a team that does what it says it does. You should have an awareness of or an interest in supporting people with mental health issues. 

In line with the Scottish Social Services Council you will be required to have or work towards an appropriate qualification in order to register with them.

The vacancy is approximately 12 hrs per week involving sleepovers.

Closing Date 22nd March 2010

 

We currently have an exciting opportunity to join a dedicated support team supporting a young man to live his life to the max in East Renfrewshire. If you’re thoughtful, reliable, relaxed and quietly confident and can think on your feet you may be what he’s looking for.

 

He enjoys going out for meals, going to the cinema, watching DVD’S, drawing, painting, listening to music and spending time with his family and friends when he chooses. He is also finding his feet in terms of what he wants in his life and the direction he wants it to go in. He therefore needs someone to support him to make key decisions in his life.

 

He’s looking for people to join his team who can introduce him to new things in his life and have similar interests. He also needs his team to support him to find a job, to go to college, to build on existing relationships and to build some new ones!

 

It would be really useful if you had previous experience of supporting someone on the Autistic Spectrum as he’s looking for staff that can respect who he is and what he chooses in his life. It would also be useful if you have supported someone previously to build a life and run their own home. The role also requires you to have the ability to work evenings, weekends and sleepovers.

 

In line with the Scottish Social Services Council guidance, you will be required to register with them. You should either already have the appropriate qualification for your registration or be willing to work towards it.
