We are a values‑led social care organisation focused on delivering support that genuinely improves people’s lives. As a not‑for‑profit provider, with over 40 years’ experience in the social care arena we reinvest our resources where they matter most: the people and communities we serve. Our work is grounded in dignity, respect, and the belief that everyone deserves the chance to live well.

We are recognised for delivering reliable, person‑led support across our communities. Our teams are trusted to provide safe, compassionate care that stands up to scrutiny. We take pride in being a steady, dependable partner within the health and social care landscape across Scotland.

We are entering a significant phase of development as we progress on the transition to becoming an independent organisation and are strengthening our service management teams to match our ambition.

• Provide efficient financial, administrative, and resource management;
• Foster excellent communication and partnerships with partner agencies and local communities;
• Promote and publicise the work of the service positively;
• Identify and develop new service growth opportunities both locally and nationally.

We are looking for candidates who have recent experience in supporting multiple client groups, working with partners to ensure an excellent service to people we support and have a working knowledge of implementing and auditing effective outcome planning systems.

You will have strong understanding of outcome-based supervision and workforce development having led and managed teams with various grades of staff promoting a positive culture.

You will have or be willing to work towards appropriate qualifications for the post as defined by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) including a recognised Leadership and Management qualification within an agreed timescale. You will be able to demonstrate commitment to Continued Professional Development.

Committed to inclusion

Wheatley Care is always looking to improve diversity within our teams. We want to create an inclusive environment where everyone can contribute their best work and achieve their full potential.
