Role

Are you a motivated and reliable leader with experience in the Health & Social Care sector? Are you a social care professional who flourishes in a caring environment while offering support and guidance to dedicated support practitioners? If so, this could be the perfect role for you!

We are currently seeking a Registered Manager for our Supported Living Service in Pollok, Mosspark and Strathbungo on a permanent full-time (37 hours per week) basis.

Your new organisation

Sense Scotland was formalised as a charity in 1985, quickly growing from a small group of families pressing for services for their children. Since then, we have gone on to successfully support hundreds of individuals with disabilities and their families in various projects and services throughout Scotland.

Our vision is for the people we work with to live meaningful, independent lives in a world that supports them to achieve their own ambitions.

About the service

Our Supported Living Services in Glasgow support individuals to live fulfilled lives in their own homes, in their local neighbourhoods and the wider community. The people we support through this service receive 24 hour care due to the complexity of their needs which can be dual sensory impairment, learning and / or physical disabilities. To provide the best person-centred care and support for the individuals, we ensure we communicate in ways that help us understand and meet their hopes, needs and wishes. We work alongside their families, health care professionals and significant others to check we are getting this right.

Each person has a nominated team around them. The supervisor and support practitioners get to know the individual and work to support them in line with their outcome-based support plan and Sense Scotland’s Core Values:

  • Be open and honest
  • Recognise individual worth
  • Build relationships through trust
  • Act on the basis of aspiration and needs
  • Be accountable for your actions

Two Locality Managers oversee and support the teams to ensure practice is in line with Health and Social Care Standards for registered support services: Care at Home and Housing Support. The Locality Managers and the Registered Manager work together on service delivery and development plans
