Braeburn Court is located in St Margaret’s Hope and offers a Housing Support and Care at Home Service to older persons who are supported and enabled to live independently and manage their own tenancies.

We are seeking to recruit dynamic and innovative team players who are highly motivated towards providing a high quality service underpinned by a re-ablement ethos.

The service is seeking to recruit motivated people with organisational, communication and supervisory skills, who will be responsible for the day to day running of the service and will report to the Registered Manager and assist them to ensure that the requirements of the Health and Social Care standards and the Care Inspectorate are achieved.

You must be able to demonstrate that you have a commitment, knowledge and experience of supporting older people, a strong sense of professionalism, sound knowledge of supporting the development of outcome focussed support plans, risk assessments and on-going co-ordination of high quality support packages, under pinned by a re-ablement approach. You will be able to deliver the required supervision and support to staff to ensure that they are competent and able to support individuals to achieve their personal outcomes. You should be adaptable and able to work flexibly with a capacity to work under pressure.

Applicants will hold a practice qualification that meets the SSSC registration requirements as a Supervisor in a Care at Home Service i.e. HNC in Health and Social Care or SVQ3 (SCQF7) in Health and Social Care AND a Supervisory qualification that where this is not held, there is a requirement to achieve this within 5 years of appointment.

You are required to register with the SSSC as a Supervisor in a care at home service within the first 6 months of taking up post.

You should be able to travel efficiently and effectively between various work locations within Orkney to meet the operational requirements of the Service.

You will be provided with regular supervision and training opportunities to enhance your existing skills and professional development.
