The Role

Are you an experienced care professional ready to take the next step in your leadership career?

At North Yorkshire Council, we're passionate about helping people remain independent, safe and well-supported within their own communities.

This is an opportunity to make a genuine difference every day, combining hands-on leadership with service improvement, staff development and outstanding care delivery.

• Supporting people receiving services, their families and carers through effective communication and relationship building.
• Managing risk assessments and promoting safe working practices.
• Investigating and resolving complaints and service issues.
• Working closely with health colleagues, partner organisations and community services.
• Deputising for the Registered Manager when required.

We're looking for someone with:

• Experience in adult social care or a related service.
• Previous supervisory or management experience.
• Knowledge of domiciliary, community or residential care services.
