About the Role
Provide professional management and case supervision for a multidisciplinary team delivering specialist social care and enablement services for adults across the Borough. Ensure compliance with the service’s standards and processes and operate within the context of the service priorities and principles of increasing user choice and control over the services they receive. These priorities focus on meeting the four social care outcomes:
- Enhancing the quality of life for people with care and support needs
- Delaying and reducing the need for care and support
- Ensuring that people have a positive experience of care and support
- Safeguarding adults whose circumstances make them vulnerable and protecting them from avoidable harm

Barnet Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The council operates stringent safer recruitment procedures including a range of checks such as biometric ID, right to work, qualification and registration checks, employment history references, DBS checks, credit checks, social media, sanctions and occupational health screening.

The council values diversity and promotes equality of opportunity in the workplace and in the services it delivers. Flexible working arrangements are embraced, including part-time, compressed hours, and hybrid working, supporting a healthy work-life balance.

All posts are subject to a six-month probationary period during which suitability for the role will be assessed. Due to high application volumes, vacancies may close early once sufficient applications are received. Applicants are advised to check their email (including junk folders) regularly for communication regarding their application.
