Team Manager

The Adult Social Care Service (ASC) is looking to recruit to a permanent 18.5-hour Team Manager post. The 18.5 Team Manager post will be based within the Community North Service.

Following an extensive restructure of Service Delivery, Community North consists of five teams currently based in the City Centre. The teams are part of the Living and Aging Well Service: Living and Ageing Well - includes older adults and people with dementia and those accessing occupational therapy, hospital support, and enablement services. Community teams aligned to Primary Care Network (PCN) boundaries. Homecare contracts will also be structured around the PCNs and aligned to this service.

The teams will be undertaking the case management of older people (over 65) and people with dementia (other than those people with a learning Disability) living in the Community.

Community North Teams will provide this social work service to people living in the north part of Sheffield and will complement a similar service which supports people in the south part of Sheffield.

It is envisaged that the new teams will link closely with local Primary Care Networks and develop good working relationships with local Commissioned Service Providers.

Our vision for ASC is that ‘everyone in Sheffield lives in a place they can call home, in communities that care, doing things that matter to them, celebrated for who they are. When they need it, they receive care and support that prioritises independence, choice, and recovery.’

We are looking to recruit a person who feels that they could contribute to the service and be part of turning this vision into a reality.

When you manage a team that get involved in the life of an adult our priority is to make sure that you have the support, time, and resources you need to provide an excellent quality service – the kind of service we would all like to receive.

We know that the success of any team will be dependent on the people we employ. We are keen to hear from those people that are flexible, dynamic, and willing to work with safe uncertainty to achieve the best outcomes. Management experience would be preferable but is not a requirement.

To enable you to work to your best we will develop you in your role as Team Manager. Training and support will be provided, and you will have an opportunity to develop the range of management and leadership skills you bring to make a difference
