Sheffield City Council is seeking two dynamic and experienced Service Managers to join our Adults Care and Wellbeing team on a temporary basis for up to 6 months. We are looking for strong leaders who can drive forward improvements within our Short Term Intervention Team and the Home First service, ensuring CQC compliance and preparing for inspections.

- Strategic Transformation: In one of the roles, lead the strategic transformation of care pathways, reviewing job descriptions, rotas, and performance measures (KPIs).
- Collaboration: Work closely with internal and external partners to ensure seamless care pathways and to meet hospital discharge requirements.
Requirements:
- Strong background in CQC regulations, reablement, and rehabilitation services.
