Job description

Team Leader - South Tyneside (Hedgeley Road)

Are you an Experienced Team Leader with a passion for delivering care?

• Location: Hebburn
• Enhanced rate of pay
• Exciting new service with new team

This role will at times be a challenging environment; therefore, resilience and patience will be important too. In order to support the team, we have a strong leadership team dedicated to this service, some of whom are based on site, along with the support of key external colleagues across the Multi-Disciplinary Team.

About the Service

This service provides support to four young adults, both male and female, who have a learning disability and/or autism, and a range of health conditions such as epilepsy, allergies, dysphagia, sensory and verbal difficulties, along with physical and mobility difficulties. Each person will have their own self-contained purpose-built bungalow. There is also separate on-site staff facilities. You will join the team helping the four to transition into their new homes and on their journey to living as independently as possible.

Due to the needs of the individuals, each person will be supported at a minimum on a 1-1 basis through the day and, in some cases, additional 2-1 for community access or health support, along with access to a shared waking night and sleepover staff at night. For this reason, a degree of flexibility and being able to work as part of a rolling rota with the wider team is essential to ensure that the needs of the people we support are met consistently and without disruption.

Key Responsibilities:

• To work with the Service Manager to oversee a supported living service, ensuring that systems and standards are maintained to a high quality.
• To ensure compliance with all external regulatory standards.
• To provide support and supervision of Support Workers within the identified team.
• To support and supervise the delivery of person-centred services to all people using the service.
• To support the Service Manager in the completion of accurate rota and timesheet information.
• To promote and support the health and safety of both people using the service and support staff.
• To ensure that the actions of all staff directly supporting people using the service support their care, protection, and well-being.
• To develop own knowledge and practice relative to continuous service improvement.
• To provide support and supervision to Area Office Support Workers, to ensure effective and efficient person-centred service delivery.

All applications will be subject to DBS checks and references. Our Team Leaders are very important to us and are an essential part of our service. If you have previously worked within a similar environment or if you believe you have the skills to complement our service, we would love to hear from you.
