Assistive Technology Change Lead

Description:

Can you turn assistive technology into everyday practice - not just a pilot?

We’re recruiting an Assistive Technology Change Lead to help Bexley Council embed technology-enabled care across adult social care. You’ll help practitioners use technology confidently, improve residents’ independence and demonstrate the difference it makes to care needs and costs.

This is a change leadership role at Team Manager level, rather than a traditional case-holding position.

The role

Lead the implementation of assistive technology and technology-enabled care across adult services.
Embed TEC into assessments, support planning, reablement and hospital discharge pathways.
Deliver training and support practitioners to adopt new ways of working.
Work with commissioners, finance colleagues and providers to improve services and value for money.
Track uptake, resident outcomes, reduced care needs and financial benefits.
Involve residents and carers in shaping accessible, person-centred solutions.
What you’ll bring

Team Manager-level experience, or equivalent responsibility leading service change.
Practical experience of assistive technology, telecare or technology-enabled care.
Experience delivering change within adult social care or integrated health and care services.
Confidence engaging practitioners, suppliers and senior stakeholders.
Experience using performance and financial information to demonstrate impact.
A relevant degree or equivalent professional experience.
An occupational therapy, social care, commissioning or transformation background could suit this role. You don’t need to be a technical developer - you do need to know how to turn technology into better care.
