Job description

Team Leader

Location: North Lincolnshire, UK

Salary: £27,992 per annum

Vacancy Type: Permanent

We are recruiting for a Team Leader in North East Lincolnshire.

We are Forward, the social enterprise that empowers people to break the cycle of crime and addiction to move forward and live fulfilling lives.

We deliver a range of MOJ Commissioned Rehabilitative services (CRS) directly for Probation in three key areas: Accommodation, Personal Wellbeing, and Dependency & Recovery.

These services work with Men 18+ who are under probation supervision, supporting them to navigate through their desired outcomes in order to achieve transformational change, break the cycle of offending, and achieve long-term integration into society.

As a Team Leader in the Dependency and Recovery Services, you will be working within a hybrid model as part of a flexible, multi-disciplinary team, working in person and travelling across the probation delivery units: Grimsby and Scunthorpe. This is an in-person service, and you will be expected to work day-to-day from the locations mentioned above.

The service is designed to improve engagement of clients into treatment services and 'bridge the gap' between probation and substance misuse services in the community by offering practical assistance and ongoing support through a range of timebound, enforceable and motivational interventions.

You will be managing a team of practitioners who will be delivering the Dependency and Recovery Service to adult males under probation supervision, supporting them to implement their action plans and navigate their recovery journey. You will build and maintain positive working relationships with their probation practitioner colleagues and all stakeholders involved in their Service User's care.

You will provide visible team leadership, travelling across the locations you are responsible for, attending essential meetings and ensuring smooth project delivery so that your team is providing a high-quality service.

Our service success is dependent on appropriate staff recruitment, development, retention, and practice. You are responsible for ensuring that you are highly people-focused, providing coaching and all practical supports that enable your staff to thrive in conjunction with the service manager.

All probation-based roles will require enhanced DBS and HMPPS security vetting. Please note this process can take up to 3-6 weeks. All offers are subject to receiving both HMPPS vetting and DBS clearances.

The Ideal Candidate:

1. Demonstrable experience in the management of teams, performance, and development.
2. Genuine interest and experience in motivating and developing people.
3. Experience in key relationship management both internally and externally.
4. Knowledge and experience of implementing formal procedures and policies.
5. Excellent problem-solving and negotiation skills.
6. Project and time management skills.
7. Knowledge of the issues facing service users in the criminal justice sector.
8. Demonstrable experience of managing high caseloads, carrying out risk/comprehensive assessments, SMART action plans, and effective case records.
