Description

Do you have experience supporting adults with learning disabilities and/or autism? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

As a Team Leader, you'll play a key role in leading a small team to deliver outstanding, person-centred support. This role will cover services in Stevenage & Hatfield.

When you join us, you'll become part of an organisation rated ‘Outstanding’ by CQC. Our team has won numerous local and national awards for leading the way in person-centred support, and we're proud to make a real difference in the lives of the people we support.

About Us

At Partners in Support, you'll be part of a close-knit team that genuinely cares about the people we support and each other.

Since 2008, we've provided supported living services across Hertfordshire, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism to live the lives they choose in their own homes and communities. We're proud to be a local, values-led organisation that puts people before growth and believes in dignity, respect, compassion and partnership.

About the role

What we're looking for

• At least 2 years of experience working with adults with learning disabilities and/or autism and 1 years' of supervisory experience within this sector, able to demonstrate this on your CV.
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, bank holidays and sleep-ins as part of a rota. Happy to work one extra weekend in four as part of your contract.

• Confidence in providing guidance, coaching and support to colleagues.
• Strong communication, organisational and leadership skills.
• A positive, proactive and supportive approach.
