Job Details

CYC are looking for an Assistant Service Manager to support the Pathways to Recovery Team.

The team is set up to deliver the following:

  • Shift the focus of attention from hospital to the community; from the 'illness' to the whole person, whole life – work within the hospital is focused on getting well and using the person's strengths, goals, interests, and wishes; while also connecting the person to their community.
  • Promote coproduced support, positioning as much control as possible with the person
  • Ensure that the right team/network supports the person
  • Support timely discharge
  • Minimise the risk of a person having to return to hospital
  • Ensure that the right support is given at the right time to create the best opportunities for recovery
  • Ensure people can leave hospital safely and at the right time for them
  • Ensure that the person and their people feel supported upon discharge and that they know where to go for further support/help
  • Reduce the need to progress from detention under s2 to s3 to s117 of the MHA 1983.
  • Consider the person's s 117 MHA 1983 after-care needs.

Managing social workers and working in close partnership with NHS colleagues and the third sector and with the teams social prescriber, this is a fascinating role which whilst rewarding will stretch and grow you as a manager.

The role is mainly based at Foss Park but there will be expectations of attending venues in the community and at West Offices in York.

This is a Fixed Term post for 24 Months.

City of York Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all employees and volunteers to share this commitment. We require the successful candidate to undertake an enhanced Criminal Record check via the Disclosure and Barring Service.

At the moment due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, some of our staff are working remotely from home but a return to a combination of working remotely and physically from the Council’s offices is anticipated in the near future.

As a new starter, your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team. Your working arrangements will vary according to your service and role, and the current Government guidance. For many roles, there will be more opportunities in the future for remote and hybrid working. However, this comes with the expectation that, as workplaces open up, there is likely to be an ongoing and occasional requirement to attend the workplace.

The Council is highly committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.

For further information or an informal discussion please contact Jo Sutherland, Service Manager, jo.sutherland@york.gov.uk
