Adult Social Care is rapidly changing in South Tyneside. We are continuing our exciting journey of change which focuses on supporting our residents to live healthier lives longer, promoting independence and wellbeing, whilst delivering personalised services in partnership with them.

Working with people and their families and carers' remains a central part of what we do to ensure that they are able to make choices and decisions about their lives. Focusing upon individual outcomes; putting the person in control and making the best use of our resources are at the heart of our Adult Social Care Strategy.

As a Shift Leader you will be required to provide support to the Registered Manager also ensuring appropriate supervisory cover at the scheme at all times and providing leadership and support to staff.

Whilst providing high quality person centred support, you will contribute to a range of community services which enable people to achieve their goals, maximise their independence and maintain meaningful lives in their own community.

These posts require people who have the ability to develop excellent communication skills and are able to build positive relationships with the people of South Tyneside.

We remain committed to developing a culture of innovation and continuous improvement, of openness and transparency and of inspirational leadership, grounded in our values and behaviour framework: Moving Forward Together: Our Values; Our Behaviours; Our Future.

We want to recruit people who share this aim and provide them with the training and development to do their jobs to the best of their abilities.

If you are committed to adults having choice and control over their support, maximising opportunities for independence and well-being and working in partnership, then this is the job for you.
