Job description

Are you an experienced care professional with strong leadership skills and a passion for supporting vulnerable people?

We are looking for a dedicated Team Leader to join our team at Threshold Community & Support on a 3-month temporary basis.

As the senior member of staff on shift, you will support the day-to-day management of the service, ensuring high-quality, person-centred care is delivered at all times. Working closely with the Unit Manager, you will provide leadership and guidance to staff, promote professional standards, support quality assurance processes, and help create a safe, compassionate and supportive environment for those who use our service.

You will be responsible for supervising and developing staff, assisting with recruitment and training, maintaining accurate records, contributing to care planning, and ensuring policies and procedures are implemented effectively. You will also play a key role in supporting residents’ wellbeing, dignity and independence while fostering positive relationships with families, colleagues and external professionals.

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.

• Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card.
• We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit.
• Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments.
• We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.

CrossReach has been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years, providing loving care to people of all ages and supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances. During that time, we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.

Today we are one of the largest social care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services. We are still growing, learning, and improving, thanks to the incredible people we have the privilege to support, and all those who support us. We are part of the Church of Scotland and aim to provide social care services and specialist resources in Christ’s name to further the caring work of the Church to people in challenging circumstances.

As we do our work in Christ’s name the job you have applied for requires you to have a Christian faith and be able to work within and uphold our Christian Ethos. This is an Occupational Requirement under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.

This post requires you to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and undertake the necessary vetting checks. You will also be required to be registered with SSSC and it is your professional responsibility to ensure that you meet the standards and criteria for registration.

We have a legal obligation to ensure that we do not employ any worker who has not been granted the relevant permission to work in the UK. This permission is without exception granted by UK Visas and Immigrations. We are required to check the entitlement to work in the UK of all prospective employees, regardless of nationality or job category.

We are committed to ensuring that we attract, retain, and develop the very best people to build a diverse and talented team and we recognise that every individual’s unique background, experience and ability contributes to our success. We aim to create an inclusive and inspiring environment where individuals feel valued and respected and where people can belong, thrive and be their very best, whoever they are.
