Assistive Technology Change Lead

£45 per hour | 6+ month contract | 3 days WFH

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

We're recruiting an Assistive Technology Change Lead to help 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.
