The Role

They are looking for you to jointly oversee a block of supported flats, and some people out in their own flats in the local community. The Assistant Service Manager will encourage and motivate the team, but above all; they will support the team to deliver outcomes for the people that they support, which can be something as practical as managing their own tenancy and immediate surroundings, or maybe medication, to making friends and sustaining relationships, or to the extent of supporting someone to look for work or even volunteering opportunities and eventually move into their own tenancy in Aberdeen.
