Job Description

This is an exciting and challenging opportunity to work with a user-led disability charity in Dorset. We support people with learning disabilities to speak up and lead change. We need a co-ordinator to run our established and successful “Quality Checking” team. The team are trained and dedicated people with learning disabilities, who all have experience of using care services. They are the experts! Your job is to support, inspire and motivate the team to go from strength to strength. Our aim is to improve the quality of care services in Dorset, by recognising what they already do well, and making suggestions for improvements. 

We are looking for someone who can:

• Support our Quality Checkers team to visit a wide range of support services in Dorset.
• Work with the team to write reports and make recommendations to service managers. 
• Develop and promote Quality Checkers, so that it becomes a self-sustaining venture. 
• Work closely with our members, staff team and trustees.

In order to apply you must have the following:

• Excellent planning, organisation and communication skills.
• Full driving licence and access to a car. 
• A strong commitment to teamwork, demonstrated by an ability to both lead and to listen.  Our success is based on people with and without learning disabilities working together to lead change. 
• A positive outlook:  Quality Checkers are not inspectors. We exist purely to help services to improve.

We will give you access to a pension scheme, flexible working hours, a spacious office, travel allowance (45ppm), training and a creative, dynamic working environment.
