Community Integrated Care is one of the UK’s largest health and social care charities. We transform lives by delivering high-quality, person-centred support that fosters independence and empowerment.

Our charity was founded in 1988 and we were one of the pioneers of the ‘Care in the Community’ agenda, enabling people to move out of long-stay institutions and live more fulfilling lives.

Since then, we’ve remained leaders in social care, providing bespoke support to thousands across the UK. Today, we support more than 2,600 people and employ 6,600 caring and committed colleagues across England and Scotland.

We have a proud history of breaking boundaries and are always looking for new ways to make a positive difference through bold ideas, innovative projects and impactful partnerships.

Who you’ll be supporting & more about the role:

Are you an experienced Social Care Manager or Service Leader?

Do you excel at managing teams to deliver exceptional person-centred support in their own homes?

Then maybe a Service Leader role with a growing and award winning charity is the change you've been looking for!

We are currently recruiting for a Service Leader Level 2 to manage a cluster of supported living services in the Glasgow area. You will be responsible for leading a team of Support Workers across the services to deliver individualised support to 8 individuals with learning disabilities, autism and mental health concerns, so previous experience in the social care sector is vital.

You will ensure the service is complaint in all areas required by the care inspectorate and encourage all colleagues within the services to play an active part in achieving this.

As you will be responsible for managing several services in a cluster, the successful candidate should hold a UK driving license and have access to their own car.

With experience working in a health or social care setting, you will have an upbeat positive manner, as well as having a genuine passion for supporting people to become a part of their local and wider community.

In addition you will be comfortable using basic IT systems that are required within the role - training can be offered to support this area.

An SVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care or equivalent, or willingness to work towards this, is also essential.
