About the organisation

This organisation is a young but well-established learning disability social enterprise, working alongside their sister charity, and with an excellent track record and reputation locally for their programmes, support and outcomes for young people with a learning disability.

They provide support services for young people with a learning disability from 16 years upwards. Their services in Community outreach – their Buddy Service – and their Supported Living service are well established and well known in Surrey.

The Buddy Service provides responsive and flexible care for young people to help them access the community and work on their personal goals, supporting them to learn life skills or access opportunities with support. The Buddy Service extends across Surrey and into Hampshire and West Sussex

The Supported Living Service has a relatively unique model whereby young people can choose to live with their friends in private rented accommodation akin to any other young person shared accommodation. They work with sympathetic landlords who understand the benefits of this empowering model for young people with a learning disability. Our Supported Living service supports young people to live independently in their own homes, helping to maintain the house, daily chores and encouraging and facilitating a healthy and active lifestyle.

They are regulated and inspected by Care Quality Commission and is rated currently as a GOOD provider. The Buddies work flexibly across the services creating a skilled workforce and a varied and interesting job.

They recruit Buddies with their values based system and provide full Care Certificate training. They value supportive and reflective supervisions and will be looking to the deputy to ensure this is maintained for all our staff.

About the role
The Deputy Care Services Manager is a pivotal role in the organisation that will ensure that their commitment to a person-centred approach, professional and ambitious aims for young people are held and will ensure that they are the leading provider organisation in the region.

The Deputy Care Service Manager will support the Care Services Manager in the day to day running, including ensuring compliance with Care Quality Commission regulations, managing a thoroughly trained and committed staffing team, satisfying users of the Buddy Service and Supported Living Service.

They support their staff with regular company meetings, an annual Staff Away Day, subsidised Summer BBQ and Christmas Lunch, generous annual leave, pension and an Employee Assistance package. They subscribe to the Social Care Commitment and their staff say they are a “great place to work”! They are seeking someone who is professional and experienced; empathetic and understanding; ambitious and creative and problem solving and tenacious.

They pride themselves on making things happen and all members play a part in the vision to create opportunities and break down social barriers for people with a learning disability.
