Description

Calling all healthcare professionals, if you're ready to take your career to the next step then read on

We're looking for caring and experienced individuals with a can do attitude to join our teams on a full time, permanent basis as a
Lead Practitioner (Team Leader).

The Role

Our colleagues across Glasgow and East Dunbartonshire work closely together so although our current needs would be for you to work in Lennoxtown we would need you to be flexible and able to support other teams if needed.

The role of
Lead Practitioner is pivotal in empowering the people we support to achieve their goals and aspirations.

You will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the service, including line management of a staff team and direct support as part of your rota.

You will use a coaching and mentoring approach with your team to support them to create rotas, update and review support plans and upskill themselves.

You will also be responsible for negotiating and reviewing individual self-directed support budgets with the budget holders.

About You

You will ideally have a track record of delivering high quality, person-centred support and have a SVQ Level 3 in Social Services and Healthcare (or equivalent).

However, this is not essential - if you are an experienced manager, have the right values and are used to working in a fast-paced, challenging environment, we would love to hear from you

As travel will be required through Glasgow, it would be
preferable if you hold a
full, clean UK driving licence and have access to your own vehicle, but this isn't a deal breaker

To be a great
Lead Practitioner you'll;
- be committed to delivering exceptional, high quality care and support
- be able to build and maintain positive, professional relationships
- be able to manage and resolve conflict
- be reliable, flexible and responsive to meet the changing needs of the people we support
- be a great problem-solver and decision-maker
- have excellent written and verbal communication skills

Shift Patterns

The contracted hours will typically be worked between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm, however, occasional evening and weekend work will be required.

As a
Lead Practitioner, you will also take part in formal on-call duties and may be required to pick up support shifts in an emergency.

Sarah Stewart on

If you're successful in joining our team, you will be expected to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and must be willing to work towards a SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare and a PDA in management as required for SSSC registration.

We will need you to register with the SSSC within 6 months of starting your employment with us.
