We’re often looking for job coaches, tutors, mentors and more to help make sure these fantastic services run smoothly. People who take on these roles will often have education or careers coaching backgrounds, but we also value the skills brought by people with a background in enterprise and business, creative arts, catering or personal finance.

Learning new skills and getting paid employment is a gateway to independence, self-esteem and a sense of hope and progression for many of the people we support. That’s why, across the country, we’ve invested in education and employment services that make a profound difference to people’s lives.

Service Managers are a crucial part of the United Response Team. ⬇️ They need to make sure that each service they manage runs smoothly, and their team is focused on helping each person in their service get the best out of their life. The service could be a registered care home, a supported living service or a day service. To be a service manager you need solid experience in leading and motivating teams within a social care environment, along with a NVQ Level 4 in Social Care Management or similar qualification, and a thorough understanding of regulatory framework, budget management, and digital care management. Visit our website to find out all about the role (we’ve also got some exciting jobs going!) ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/etEuNJv8

We’re doing a deep dive into different roles in care to help you understand more about what a #careerincare can look like. Next up is the team manager role. A team manger works closely with the service manager to lead, develop and mentor their staff team through taking person-centred approaches. To be a team manager you’ll need experience in working in a support team, have an NVQ Level 3 in Social Care Management (or be working towards it) and be competent with IT systems. You’ll also need to be passionate about making a difference. Find out more about the role ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e5AvBkBk
