WHATARE THE CONSEQUENCES IF THIS POST IS NOT FILLED?

The Senior Community Care Officer is the external manager for six Community Care Units e.g. Monklands House (Residential home for older people) and Hallcraig Resource Centre (Day Centre for people with a learning diability). Without the Senior Community Care Officer it is impossible t o provide adequate external management.


The Community Care Units of the Social W o r k Department require first class support and supervision from the managing Area Team. The Senior Community Care Officer post is a vital component of ensuring safe and appropriate services. The Senior Community Care Officer also offers an independent quality check on all Area Team fieldwork services.
