Service Lead - Strichen

Are you an experienced Health & Social care professional who's on the look out for a brand new challenge? You could be just who we’re looking for!

Our amazing #TeamNorthAberdeenshire are on the lookout for a new Service Lead to join them on a permanent full-time (39 hours per week).

The role

You'll become part of a supportive and dedicated management team providing coaching and mentoring to our two services in Longside and Strichen.

Reporting to our Branch Leader, you will lead your services, ensuring the delivery of high quality support and be committed to the continuous improvement of them. You will also work in partnership with your fellow Service Leads and our Lead Practitioners within the branch to ensure consistency and sharing of good practice. Part of this role will also involve taking on Registered Manager responsibilities too.

About you

It would be great if you already have your SCQF level 9 and PDA in management, however this isn't a deal-breaker for the right candidate. We are committed to the development of our colleagues and will invest in you by funding your qualifications through our Training Academy to meet SSSC requirements!

What we need you to bring: -

A passion for delivering excellent person centred care and support

A caring and professional attitude

Great communication skills; both written and verbal

A positive attitude to problem solving

The ability to work on your own initiative

The ability to work collaboratively as a helpful, positive member of a team

Confidence in the use of computers

Excellent language and numeracy skills

Planning, organising and time management skills

The ability to respond flexibly to emerging and changing circumstances

Shift patterns

You will usually work your hours Monday-Friday as this is an off-rota role, however, there may be occasions where we will need you to be flexible to work evenings, sleepovers, waking nights and weekends due to the needs of our services. On call duties will also form part of your role on a rotational basis.
