Our Field Care Supervisors are predominately based out in the community and take responsibility for ensuring our service users are receiving the care and support they expect and deserve.

You will be liaising with the Service User directly, both at the commencement of the service and for its duration. This will involve conducting assessments, writing care plans and reviewing on a regular basis how the service is delivered.

The main duties of the Field Care Supervisor role include:

• To make initial contact with new service users in order to assess their care needs and introduce them to our service.
• To undertake risk and manual handling assessments on new service users to ascertain their care requirements and the delivery of the package of care.

• To write full care plans that reflect the needs of the service user, and the risk assessments, and review these as and when required.
• To meet care workers on a one to one basis for the purposes of direct supervision and keep written records on the content and outcome of each meeting.
• To maintain an effective system in consultation with the Branch Manager and your Quality Assurance Advisor for quality assurance management.
• Conduct quality monitoring telephone calls to service users to monitor the performance of care workers.
• Liaise with Social Services regarding service users as required and attend Social Services client reviews if required.
• To participate in an on-call roster providing and co-coordinating cover for unplanned absence to maintain the service.

What we are looking for in a successful candidate:

• A good communicator with the ability to build and maintain strong relationships.
• Excellent assessment skills and written skills.
• Ability to work on own initiative - able to prioritise tasks and manage time effectively.
• Willingness to embrace change.
• Well organised with the ability to multitask.
• A Friendly, confident and helpful telephone manner.
• A person with a positive, focused attitude to enable targets to be met and exceeded.
• A full UK driving license
