<h3>About Haringey</h3>
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.&nbsp;
Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.&nbsp;

Above all, you’re committed to equality, diversity, and ensuring residents remain at the heart of everything we do. You may not have direct local government experience, but you need to understand how councils work, and our social, economic and political drivers.&nbsp;
<h3>Working for Haringey</h3>
At Haringey Council we are committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included, and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits of a diverse workforce so welcome applications from all ethnicities and communities so that we continue to make a difference to our residents and community.&nbsp; Our benefits package includes a leave entitlement of 31 days + bank holidays, potential hybrid working opportunities, health and wellbeing support, a generous local government pension scheme and a range of discount schemes across leisure and culture that provide both financial and money-saving discounts.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Post
Shared Lives is an alternative to traditional types of care and support available to adults with a learning disability. In Shared Lives, a person lives, or stays with a Shared Lives carer within the local community. The Shared Lives carer provides the care and support in their own family home and as part of their own family and community network. The person would become part of the carer’s extended family and be supported by the Shared Lives carer to live the life they choose.
Hackney Shared Lives supports people who rely on the help and support of others to maximise their potential and maintain their sense of independence.
Hackney shared lives scheme is a CQC (Care Quality Commission) registered service offering the opportunity for vulnerable adults to live in the community. The adult is “matched” with a carer who is recruited, assessed, trained and supported by scheme officers.
The role of the registered manager is to support this process and ensure the compliance of the scheme within the remit of CQC. Each placement is different and this brings challenges and rewards.The registered manager is responsive to CQC, Shared Lives plus (who offer oversight of all 150 schemes nationally) and also works alongside the multidisciplinary Mental Health and Learning Disabilities teams who refer to the service.
Shared Lives Carers are self employed and supported to ensure their fees are competitive and vacancies are advertised. The team has enjoyed a period of stability, including the restructure of the scheme financially and procedurally. The scheme is ready to grow and increase the offer of community living to vulnerable people in Hackney.
The Person
Whilst we value experience, you will need to be committed to providing quality service and opportunities to the people living within Shared Lives. You will need to demonstrate your understanding of supporting people on the Autism Spectrum and Learning Disabilities. You will need to evidence leadership qualities, flexibility, enthusiasm, initiative, and resilience, for what is often a very demanding but rewarding vocation.
Your role will include being a CQC registered manager for the Shared Lives Service, supervising the scheme officers, supporting carers and vulnerable people, organising relevant training, providing reports to various stakeholders and being prepared for the possibility of a CQC inspection. The registered manager takes the lead role for the scheme in matters of safeguarding. The service is always aiming to be “outstanding” with CQC and take an innovative approach to social care and quality assurance improvements - which is a key role of the registered manager. Hackney is a culturally diverse borough and the scheme works to support and recruit potential carers from all parts of the community - building relationships with the community groups is essential. The scheme has a high number of out of borough placements for which the registered manager will need to have oversight and work with regional commissioners.
Experience
- Ability to lead, manage and develop a diverse service
- Management experience in social care and ability to develop and maintain services
Qualifications
- QCF Level 5 diploma in leadership in Health and Social Care or equivalent or above qualification
