Are you a driven and experienced manager with a background in Health and Social Care? We are looking for an ambitious individual with experience in managing teams and shift allocation/deployment of colleagues to join our growing in-house agency.  You will be manging the Peripatetic Team in Hampshire, Dorset and growing to cover our South Region.  This will be a home-based role, with travel as required. 

About the role

To be successful in this role, we are looking for a leader who ensures their support workers are deployed in the most cost-effective way through meticulous scheduling of work, and in addition to ensure that the peripatetic support workers are trained to a high level to provide exemplar levels of support across a variety of different home settings.

• Working in a fast-paced environment

• Analyse agency spend data and actively recruit to reduce vacant hours
• Ensure training, quality and compliance across the service

This will be a home-based role, with travel as required.
