About The Role

Hesley Group is recruiting for an Advanced Practitioner to work between - The Limes in Denaby Main and The Paddocks in Wadsworth.

This is a significant position within the service, as the Advanced Practitioner will have responsibility to support and develop the operational team in their knowledge and understanding, ensuring that the people we support receive a high-quality, outcome-focused, and personalised service that meets their needs.

Working as part of the local senior management team, this role involves developing and implementing bespoke plans to meet the individual needs of the people we support. This will enable people we support to have the best possible quality of life and to grow in confidence, competence, and personal effectiveness.

As part of this role, you will be expected to competently use all IT systems deployed by the group, with a focus on care and support software and incident management software, and ensure that accurate records are kept for each individual regarding the support they receive.

We are seeking someone who is committed and enthusiastic about helping the people we support achieve the best possible outcomes and a great quality of life.

For this role, you must have a full UK driving license and access to your own vehicle, as you will need to respond between the two services.
