We're seeking a compassionate and motivated Locality Manager to help lead services across Aberdeenshire.

, the successful candidate will support and creatively develop our teams in those areas. As a leader in practice, the locality manager will continue to promote person
-centred working, enabling the people supported to live their best lives.

In addition to a 37-hour working week, you'll take part in a paid on-call rota
, offering valuable extra earnings and the rewarding opportunity to provide support when it's needed most.

Additional, regional on-call responsibilities include an additional payment.

If you’re ready to lead with purpose and bring energy to a dynamic team, we’d love to hear from you.
