Further Information
Lifeline Services have been providing award winning support to the residents of Darlington since 1989. The service is looking to recruit a part time Scheme Manager working 20 hours per week.
The Scheme Managers that work in the Lifeline services team are based at the various sheltered and extra care complexes across the town and support tenants to live safely and independently in their own communities.
The successful candidate will need to be approachable with a 'can do' attitude and amongst other valuable skills be encouraging, organised, flexible and have the ability to communicate effectively and compassionately to a broad range of audiences.
A Scheme Managers day is varied with responsibilities relating to building management: monitoring legionella, fire safety, general repairs, site safety etc along with supporting the tenants, their families, carers and the professionals that we can meet daily. Some of the duties include: daily calls, visits, responding to emergency calls within the scheme, facilitating activities and planning events, so someone with strong communication skills and the ability to engage people is vital.
