Help us shape the future of care and support for older people.

We are looking for a highly capable and ambitious Director of Care and Support to lead the next stage of development for our care services.

This is a senior leadership role, with responsibility for our Day Care and Home Support services, as well as our Home Care services, which are in development. The postholder will act as the CQC Registered Manager for our regulated care activity, ensuring that our services are safe, high quality, person-centred, compliant and ready to grow.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who combines strong care leadership with commercial awareness, operational grip and a genuine commitment to improving later life. You will help us build services that families trust, staff are proud to deliver, and older people experience as compassionate, reliable and life-enhancing.

About the role

As Director of Care and Support, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across a varied portfolio of services. You will be responsible for quality, compliance, people, performance, budgets and service development.

You will lead managers and staff to deliver excellent services, while also developing our care offer so that it is sustainable, responsive to local need and aligned with our charitable purpose.

You will ensure that our regulated service meets CQC requirements and that strong systems are in place for safeguarding, quality assurance, risk management, care planning, supervision, training, audit and continuous improvement.

This is a role for someone who can think strategically, act decisively and stay close enough to operational detail to know whether services are genuinely working well for the people who use them.

What we are looking for

We are looking for someone to help us create and launch something new – someone with significant experience in adult social care, community services, home care, or a closely related field. You will understand what good care looks like and have the leadership skills to make it happen consistently.

You will bring strong knowledge and experience of CQC-regulated services, safeguarding, quality assurance and person-centred care. You will also have experience of managing people, budgets, performance and change.

Just as importantly, you will be warm, professional, resilient and values led. You will be able to build trust with staff, families, partners, commissioners, trustees and regulators, while holding high standards and addressing issues when needed.

Why join us?

This is a chance to make a real difference at an important point in our development. We have clear ambitions for our care and support services, and we are looking for a leader who can help us turn those ambitions into high-quality, sustainable services for older people and their families.

As an Engagement Advice Worker, you will play a key role in delivering both strands of the service by raising awareness of gambling-related harm across Lambeth and providing personalised, strengths-based support to individuals affected by gambling.

1. Deliver a programme of community outreach across Lambeth by attending community events, local groups and venues where residents naturally gather, including faith settings, shopping areas, sporting venues, barbershops and culturally specific community spaces.

2. Build relationships with residents, community leaders and partner organisations to increase awareness of gambling-related harm, reduce stigma and promote the Better Together Service.

3. Deliver presentations, information sessions and informal engagement activities to residents and professionals, promoting early identification of gambling-related harm and available support.

4. Support the planning and delivery of conferences, networking events and professional education sessions, promoting the service and contributing to wider system change.

5. Provide holistic, person-centred one-to-one support to adults affected directly or indirectly by gambling-related harm and agreeing personalised goals to build on their strengths, access community resources and develop sustainable strategies that improve their health and wellbeing.

6. Support clients to access specialist gambling treatment where appropriate, including referrals to the NHS Primary Care Gambling Service, alongside wider support for issues such as debt, housing, benefits, mental health, loneliness, bereavement and social isolation.

What you need to bring

• Experience of delivering outreach work, including presentations to small groups and at larger events.

• Experience of networking and proactively liaising with external agencies and community groups to build strong working relationships.

• Experience of recording data and keeping records up to date and accurate.

• Able to work independently and manage a varied caseload of clients and the ability to prioritise different areas of work according to need and deadlines, making efficient use of time and resources.

• Able to  work in a flexible manner to meet the demands of a developing service.

What you’ll benefit from

• Generous pension provision - 7% employer contribution

• 26 days holiday a year rising to 31 days after 5 years

• A great staff culture with kindness at its heart

In the last four years we have tripled our turnover, moved from delivery at one site to having thirteen outreaches and have doubled the number of clients we are seeing. We are now looking for an enthusiastic, full time Welfare Benefits Worker to build up a much needed Welfare Rights Unit.  We have a small unit of volunteers who support clients with appeals, and our next stage is to build a volunteer based form filling service.  Whilst holding a small caseload of your own, it is the development of this service that would be your principal task.

To be successful you will need to be a qualified Citizens Advice Adviser, preferably with experience of delivering Benefits casework, and to be able to develop and lead volunteers.  If the longer term Welfare Rights Unit project interests you but this post would not be an option for you as it stands, we would also welcome a conversation.

Our service operates to very high standards, but we also work hard to make it an enjoyable and supportive work environment. 

If this sounds like a team you would fit into please e-mail your updated CV and a covering letter to Chris Roberts, Chief Executive using the e-mail title “Benefits vacancy”.

Applications close at Midnight on Sunday 2nd August.  Provisionally interviews are planned for Thursday 13th August.

Due to the potential number of applicants we are sorry but we will not be able to enter into correspondence or discussion with unsuccessful candidates.

Who are we?

Champions, with support from the programme, give voice to communities with varying levels of health literacy: how residents access, assess, and engage with healthcare information, services and systems.

The programme was launched during the Covid-19 pandemic but has now expanded to focus on wider health issues and wider determinants of health such as mental health and wellbeing, long term conditions, diet and nutrition.

Purpose of the Role

The Communications and Engagement Officer will lead on programme communications, coordinating and delivering the day-to-day communications that power the Community Health Champion CHC) programme.
