Practice Development Manager - Edinburgh, United Kingdom - Ark People Housing Care
Description
Do you have excellent leadership skills, high level communication skills, and significant experience of working directly with people with learning disabilities and autism?
Do you have a demonstrable track record of ensuring PBS is delivered effectively, impacting positively on quality of life, quality of support and practice and supporting positive risk taking?
We have an exciting opportunity to join Ark as Practice Development Manager. This post comes at a crucial time for Ark as we move into a new phase and look to implement a Positive Behaviour Support strategy across the organisation.
Ark has been successfully supporting people with Learning Disabilities, Autism, Mental Health and Complex Support needs to live good lives and make their home in their communities for 47 years.
We are at the beginning of a new phase in our development as an organisation, having set out a Strategy for our Care & Support services and committing to the development of new properties, many of which will be designed to meet the needs of people with a range of disabilities.
Our Care & Support strategy is focused on continuous improvement and supporting our staff and teams to deliver the best service possible to the people we support. In order to achieve this, we are creating a Practice Development Team that will work across the organisation to implement key strategic objectives and support organisational development.
Ark has a long history of supporting people using Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approaches and we want to build on this by making a step change in the way we support staffs' understanding and development, placing PBS at the heart of our service delivery.
Reporting to the Director of Care & Support, the Practice Development Manager will establish, develop and lead a Practice Development team. The team will initially focus on the development and implementation of Ark's PBS strategy, supporting managers to become Practice Leaders and building knowledge, capacity, and resilience within Care & Support teams.
Longer term, the Practice Development team will support the development of staff practice across a range of areas of practice and the development of competency frameworks.
You will need to establish and maintain effective working relationships with Care & Support colleagues and Learning & Development colleagues as well as representing Ark at relevant external practice forums (e.g. PBS Community or Practice, Restraint Reduction Scotland).
You will be leading on the development and delivery of Arks Positive Behaviour Support Strategy, policy and processes.
