Full-Time
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Registered Manager to manage our two Carlisle Extra Care services, Heysham Gardens and Burnside Court. Both services have a vibrant and established care team providing compassionate support to older adults. The services ensure support cover is in place during the day and operate waking night support to clients as needed. The service is registered with the CQC as delivering Personal Care and has good systems and processes in place to ensure that a quality service is delivered consistently.
You will need to fulfill the role of registered manager with the CQC for this service and meet the expectations of the local authority commissioners and the contract that underpins the service, which holds a ‘Good’ rating with the Care and Quality Commission.
You will have the values and commitment to lead the staff team to provide the highest standards of customer care and person-centred service delivery while promoting independence, choice, and wellbeing. The role will involve the operational management of the service and the direct supervision of a Deputy Manager and Support Workers.
You will be expected to work effectively with families and other agencies and to maintain a positive and trusting relationship with the on-site Housing Scheme Managers. Skills in contract and relationship management are essential. You will undertake quality assurance checks at the service to ensure compliance with essential standards of care. This is a busy service, and therefore you will need to be hardworking, accountable, and possess strong organizational skills.
This is an exciting opportunity to work in partnership with other agencies to provide a holistic and joined-up approach for meeting the needs of older adults. You will respond to referrals, undertake assessments, and participate in allocation processes. You will ensure that each person moving into the service has a personalized care plan that meets their needs and preferences.
You will have relevant skills, knowledge, and at least three years of management experience gained in the care and support of older people in settings such as extra care, home care, or residential care. Previous experience of staff supervision and management is required. You will be expected to bring a warm, caring, and person-centred approach to your work and to work collaboratively with our service users and their families. A commitment to re-ablement principles and promoting dignity and independence is essential. We are looking for someone with a can-do hands-on approach who is a positive role model.
