Team Leader

Our Team Leaders are a key link between support staff and management and are often responsible for the day to day running of the service. You will have a busy role that will involve:

• Working on shift


• Supporting and mentoring other members of the team


• Dealing with any problems that arise on shift


• Ensuring good practice is adhered to at all times


• Ensuring the people we support have the opportunity to do the things they love


• Accompanying the people we support in the community
  
  A good Team Leader is able to balance the needs of the service, the Support Workers and the people we support. As a senior member of staff you should be able to inspire confidence in your team and help them make sure the highest quality person-centered support is given at all times. You should have significant experience of social care but don't need to have been in a senior position before. Knowledge of working with learning disabilities would be beneficial but more importantly we are looking for someone with a friendly and compassionate nature who embodies the very best of what United Response is all about., Disability Confident
