Thistle's teams support individuals, families, and communities to maximise their potential and achieve the best possible quality of life.
The Role
Teams make their own decisions within a framework agreed with the Directorate Team and are supported by a Team Coach and Practice Development Facilitator (PDF). Coaches provide training and support for some teams to self-organise and make decisions autonomously and support other teams to work towards self-organisation. Coaches will always model work practices consistent with a common set of person-centred behaviours described as the Thistle Approach. Alongside PDF's, Coaches enable and hold teams to account for working to four key principles and an operational framework. Coaches are accountable to the Supported Living Lead and CEO. Coaches work collaboratively to support teams to build relationships with people and their families.
