Job role
As a result of service development, we are looking to appoint a Team Leader to our day provision service at Ware Street.
The position will become available as from w/b 4th September 2022.
The successful candidate will have responsibility for managing the service on a daily basis and working in collaboration with the service manager and other colleagues within the agency, as well as with colleagues from across ESPA.
The position would perhaps suit a highly experienced Senior Support Worker looking to develop their career, or an experienced Team Leader/Assistant Manager that may be considering working in a different area.
We would be looking for the following experience, skills and characteristics in the successful candidate:
- Strong leadership, communication and interpersonal skills
- The ability to work in a supportive and compassionate way with service users and their families
- Proven experience of all aspects of staff management
- Proficient in developing and maintaining systems with very good IT skills
- A very well developed and sound knowledge of autism and associated conditions
- A sound understanding of PBS and supporting individuals and staff teams
- Somebody that is organised, creative and proactive regarding all aspects of service delivery
- Knowledge of matters relating to MCA, DoLS and BI decisions
- To work with a range of external professionals with the wellbeing of service users a priority
- A high level of commitment and motivation towards service provision
- A confident and calm disposition
- A willingness to attend training
Although the service is not currently regulated by CQC, the same standards are upheld as in our existing services that are regulated. With this in mind, a sound knowledge of CQC requirements would be necessary.
At some point in the future, it is possible the service will offer extended opening hours to include evenings and weekends and as a result it will be necessary for the successful candidate to be able to work flexibly, in order to meet service needs.
The role will include being part of the senior on call rota for the Teesside area.
Qualifications relevant to the role, or a willingness to work towards them would be required.
The position is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure with the Disclosure and Barring Service.
