Description

Statement Piece:

We are looking for someone to help us lead our team to develop exceptional person-centred support services to individuals with complex communication needs.

As a Supervisor within our Supported Living Services in Dundee you would be tasked with developing our staff team members within their roles.

Working directly on shift and offering practical hands on support you will develop practice that meets the needs of the people that we support, allows them to find and plan opportunities and achieve their goals and ambitions.

With a focus on practice, supervision and support you will ensure teams regularly re-view individuals packages of care to ensure they are proactive and forward thinking.

Service Descriptor:

The service supports 7 adults, 6 men and 1 woman within their own tenancies by a large staff team.

The needs of the people supported are unique to them but do include Learning Disabilities, Autism and Aspergers Syndrome, Epilepsy, ADHD, Diabetes, Bi-Polar Disorder and Hearing Impairment.

Each service is bespoke to the individual, with a focus on their priorities, likes and interests and ambitions.

Most of the people supported have Welfare Guardians appointed either through the Health and Social Care Partnerships or families. We work closely with them and ensure that any change to support or event is reported and reviewed appropriately.

Current shift patterns and staffing ratio:
Shift start and finish times vary depending on the needs of individuals supported. The predominant shift pattern incorporates an early shift, a late shift and a night shift within the core building.

There are currently three wakened nights shifts based in the Dundee property, two based in individual's accommodation the other in the staff office.

A further sleepover staff member is needed within one of the individuals homes.

Supervisors also have a portion of their hours based in the office to allow the opportunity to provide formal and informal practice based support and supervision to members of the staff team.
