Appointee and Deputy Team Leader

Calderdale Council is looking for an Appointee and Deputy Team Leader to lead a specialist team responsible for managing the financial affairs, benefits, property and assets of vulnerable adults who are unable to manage these themselves.

This is a varied and rewarding role where you will combine team leadership, financial oversight, safeguarding, risk management and statutory compliance. You will oversee complex Appointee and Deputy cases, support staff with high-risk decisions, and ensure client finances are managed safely, lawfully and in each person’s best interests.

We are looking for someone with strong financial judgement, excellent organisational skills and experience of supervising, supporting or managing staff. You may already have experience in Appointeeship or Deputyship, but we also welcome applicants with transferable experience managing complex financial responsibilities involving client funds, benefits, income, expenditure, property, assets or financial safeguarding.
