ABOUT THE ROLE: ASSISTANT MANAGER (DRIVER ESSENTIAL)

We are seeking an experienced Assistant Manager with solid experience of supporting autistic adults. This is a full time and permanent position working for a very well-established autistic care provider. Very interesting and varied role with scope for progression.

KAT provide practical and emotional support to ensure the adults we care for enjoy active lives in the community. We support individuals on a 1:1 basis with complex needs, including physical and learning disabilities. We are an outstanding care employer and very proud of the specialist PBS training, coaching and ongoing support that our practice development team provide to our staff.

The role of Assistant Manager is integral to the smooth operation of our establishments. The role is fully hands-on and provides the Centre Manager with clear oversight of day-to-day care and staffing.

KAT has a strong training ethos. Training is centrally managed, and the Assistant Manager plays a key role in ensuring that the hands-on training of new support staff is being met and that staff are progressing through their foundation training. The Assistant Manager will ensure that staff receive constructive feedback and that the regime of quarterly supervisions and practical competency assessments in administering medication, manual handling etc are adhered to.

The Assistant Manager will lead by example, adopting a proactive approach to achieving a positive, engaging, and promotional relationship building role with the people we support, families, staff, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders. They also help us to maintain and develop effective communication systems within the team and other services.

The Assistant Manager will be required to undertake ad hoc administrative task. We are currently transferring to digital management systems, and therefore applicants do need to be IT literate as they will be one of our onsite champions helping with the rollout of current and new systems, supported by our In-house Digital Partner.

This is not a role for the faint hearted but it is a fantastic opportunity for a natural problem-solver who is excited about change and can take challenges in their stride.

To succeed you must already have solid Team Leader or Deputy Manager experience and be able to provide reassuring leadership in an emergency. The Assistant Manager roles at KAT are our ideal natural succession for future management roles and therefore there is opportunity for progression for aspirational staff into management roles across the Trust.

Everyone has their own room which they have decorated and chosen the furnishings themselves with help from their staff team. There are shared communal areas which include a lovely large garden and a sensory room for all to enjoy. Our residents are really active and love to go on lots of different adventures visiting a variety of locations to explore.
