• Retrieve and maintain accurate service data; analyse referral volumes, caseloads, performance and outcomes to identify trends and pressure points; and produce timely monitoring reports for commissioners and internal stakeholders.
• Build effective working relationships with health and social care and other partner organisations
• Help shape the service as demand and commissioning requirements evolve

What we're looking for

• Experience of leading and supervising staff in a frontline service
• Sound judgement under pressure, with the ability to reprioritise quickly
• A clear understanding of independent advocacy, or experience in a closely related field such as social care, mental health or rights-based work
• Confidence using case management systems and service data
• Confident using Microsoft 365 applications and other IT systems
• A strong commitment to placing the people we support at the centre of everything we do

This role would suit someone who remains calm and focused in a busy environment, protects their team’s capacity and is committed to achieving the best outcomes for people who use the service. In return, we offer a generous package of salary, pension, dynamic working, annual leave, CPD, and a wellbeing package.
