We are looking for a new Care Manager for our brilliant new service in Horsham which has been purpose built to support people to leave long- stay hospitals and start to rebuild their new lives in the community.
We are looking for someone who has robust experience in this area as the role sits within our higher level 4 management banding.

You will need to be kind, patient, resilient, compassionate, proactive, and believe strongly in great leadership. The role can be tough, but the rewards outweigh, many of the individuals who have been identified for the new service have been discriminated against, faced trauma, fallen between services, or ended up in hospital placements as community services could not be sourced. This is a real chance to be part of our successful programme of ensuring that everyone with a learning disability or autistic people are supported in their local communities, not in hospital settings.
You will need to be adaptable, flexible, and be able to lead staff to support our people to gain back their independence through empowerment, active support, positive risk-taking and out of the box thinking.
In return for your dedicated service you can expect a competitive rate of pay, enhanced pay when you have a baby (maternal, paternal or adoption), Employee Assistance Programme with various aspects of free legal support and counselling, support with gaining further qualifications, career progression opportunities, financial awards for successful recruitment referrals and most importantly inclusive, friendly and supportive environment for you to grow and thrive.
