Scheme Manager

Hackney is one of Britain's most exciting and fastest-changing boroughs. We have changed the reputation, not just of the Council, but of Hackney itself. The challenges that have arisen over the last two years have intensified the need for action and we are determined to rebuild Hackney for, and with, our diverse communities.

We are looking for one Scheme Manager for our Care Quality Commission-regulated Housing with Care Scheme.

Housing with Care schemes provides housing that is primarily designed for people aged 55 plus who have both housing, support, and care needs. Registered landlords provide the accommodation, for which service users hold a tenancy to their own flat, and the CQC-regulated care is provided by London Borough of Hackney staff.

Solutions focussed, enthusiastic, and passionate about good quality of care provision, you will assist the Locality Managers to ensure that services meet quality standards; meet regulatory, legislative, and council requirements; are innovative; empower service users; and are constantly developing.

You will need to be able to manage as well as motivate staff and will directly supervise Team Leaders and lead and direct the Team working within and across a dispersed area. You will assist the Locality Managers in providing clear leadership.

You will need to have excellent communication skills, an ability to build strong relationships and a professional demeanor that generates confidence.

This is a busy post and tasks are varied. You will need to be able to prioritise and meet deadlines and have the ability to switch from task to task to meet demands.

There is no better place to work in London than Hackney; we have great pride in our borough, our communities, and our services. Hackney is one of London's most vibrant and diverse boroughs. It's one of the most sought after areas to live in London with good schools, parks and local amenities, as well as great transport links and vibrant and diverse communities.
