Senior Support Worker Team Leader

Are you a passionate Team Leader within a supported housing service looking to make your next career move? or perhaps you would like a fresh challenge and would like to work in a temporary on-going contract as a Team Leader?

Purpose Of The Job

The Team Leader will supervise and coordinate the team to ensure the day-to-day delivery of high quality, reliable support service tailored to the specific needs of each person entering our services, promoting independence and choice in accordance with the Statement of Purpose and Supported Accommodation Standards.

This is not a standard housing, security or support role. The Team Leader will be working in an immediate access supported housing service for people who may have experienced homelessness, trauma, addiction, poor mental health, offending, exploitation, financial exclusion and repeated crisis. The work can be challenging, but it offers the opportunity to make a direct difference by helping people stabilise, access support, develop life skills and move towards independence.

Applicants should be comfortable working in a structured, policy-led environment where safeguarding, risk management, accurate recording, professional boundaries and partnership working are essential. The strongest candidates will combine compassion with consistency and will be able to engage people respectfully while also following procedures and maintaining a safe service.

This role does involve managing staff so line management experience in a supported housing setting is essential.

This is a temporary role covering long term sick leave and is for a minimum of 8 weeks subject to the employee returning to work. therefore the suitable candidate would be available to start work immediately.

This is an exciting role for an experienced Team Leader who understands the complexities of overseeing staff and ensuring they can lead a team to make positive impact on the lives of those who are vulnerable.
