About the role:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a team manager to join the Integrated Discharge Team at Rotherham Hospital.

• Able to demonstrate you have a good understanding of the Care Act 2014 and Mental Capacity Act 2005, including our safeguarding adults’ duties, and other legislative frameworks which govern Adult Social Care practice
• Willing to work flexibly to meet the needs of the team and service, with on-site working as a minimum of three times per week at both Hospital sites
• Have extensive experience of multi-disciplinary working
• Have extensive experience of safeguarding practice

We will offer you:

• Individualised support and guidance to effectively progress as an effective manager and leader within a Health-led environment
• An integrated and collaborative way of working with a range of staff, peers, and partners
• Regular informal and formal supervision and face-to-face 1-2-1 support
• Full induction, training and development in your role
• A positive and supportive team and management culture
• Regular and prompt communications via team meetings, peer support and other methods
