Enablement Support Lead (South Derbyshire)

Derbyshire County Council are looking for an Enablement Support Team Lead to manage and organise effective provision of services through specific projects, specialist advice and guidance and the day-to-day co-ordination of a team. Improving outcomes through supporting and assisting the well-being of individuals.

We’re all about enablement that really matters - encouraging people to achieve their best in their own homes and communities. Do you like supporting colleagues to help people in the community to discover their own strengths? Can you encourage and support them to help people in the community to live as independently as they can?

We’re looking for colleagues who can contribute their skills and expertise working with multi-disciplinary professional teams in localities across Derbyshire. We need team members who can support us to adopt new ways of working and make sure that collaboration around those we are working with is at the heart of everything we do.

We’re keen to hear from you if you:

• Enjoy a challenge
• Understand what it means to treat people with dignity and respect
• Have excellent leadership skills and the ability to create an inclusive team
• Can be creative and are forward thinking
• Are able to build a positive rapport with external bodies

Working in any care role can be challenging at times, but extremely rewarding, and as an employee of Derbyshire County Council.

🌈 We offer you:

🏡 The opportunity to work three shifts, including early, late, and 9-5.

🎁 Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme.

🏖️ Generous annual leave (25 days per year, rising to 30 after 5 years) + 8 bank holidays.

📚 Training and development opportunities to grow in your career.

🚗 Paid travel expenses if you need to travel to other sites.

🚴‍♂️ The chance to join our Smarter Travel Scheme, including the cycle to work scheme.
