About Us:
THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF INDEPENDENT LIVES
Adult Social Care in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where our passionate, caring and committed professionals do brilliant work every day.
Mrs D was frail and unwell. Her son was her main carer, but he wasn’t coping. We stepped in to help, but they were hostile to outside agencies. They’d always lived together and were terrified they’d be split up. Our social worker did a great job persuading Mrs D to get hospital treatment and a temporary stay in a care home. In an epic effort throughout COVID, she gained the son’s trust and sorted all the repairs, carers and nurses needed so that Mrs D could come home to live with her son. We also got Mr D regular respite and a personal budget awarded in recognition of him as her carer. After all, there’s nothing more important than living the life you want.
The Role:
As Team Manager for our Community Independence Service (Reablement) you can make your own powerful contribution to Westminster’s success. Providing the clear leadership that enables staff to contribute to a range of challenges and opportunities, you’ll ensure regular supervision and appraisal, be accountable for the quality of your team’s work and take responsibility for maintaining and developing their professional knowledge and skills.
When it comes to Operational Management, you’ll work closely with clinical and professional leads as you manage the Integrated Community Independence Reablement Service, and provide line management and supervision to senior colleagues and other staff. Accountable for responding to complaints, Freedom of Information requests and Data Protection enquiries from members of the public, councillors and MPs, we’ll also expect you to manage the allocated budget, and ensure that all staff work in accordance with safeguarding processes and procedures.
You’ll have a wide range of additional responsibilities, including the monthly review of KPIs, implementing agreed Care Act eligibility criteria for services, and ensuring teams work an equitable caseload. Accountable for authorising care packages up to agreed limits and screening residential and nursing home placements, we’ll also expect you to look after the selection, recruitment and induction of new team members, and manage the full range of personnel and performance issues.

About You:
With a professional qualification in social work or qualified Occupational Therapist, you’ll have proven experience of working at a senior level in a similar role across complex environments. We’ll expect you to have led and managed multi-agency teams and ensured effective service delivery, and you’ll possess well developed knowledge of the legislation, statutory guidance and best practice that underpins social work and care for adults.
You should be capable of successfully translating statutes and regulations into policy and practice, and be ready to manage extensive budgets in a complex, controlled environment. A superb people manager with the skills to lead senior staff while embedding positive organisational values and behaviours, your experience will allow you to implement large scale change and reform that impacts on practice and procedures.
It’s important that you’re capable of working diplomatically, preferably in a democratic environment at corporate board level, and you should be a skilled Chair and constructive participant in a variety of meeting environments. In addition, we’ll look for experience of constructing measures, metrics and performance indicators, and using these to shape and drive performance, while your leadership skills will inspire and motivate the delivery of a service of the highest quality.
