Do you have a significant understanding of mental health issues and substantial experience of working in a housing and social care setting? Would you like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they work with? Then join us as a team leader.
Recovery Focus is a new group of expert charities with the shared aim to inspire individual recovery nationwide. Between us we have a track record of more than 200 years of developing and running personalised services that work with people with mental health, substance misuse and other complex needs to achieve their ambitions. Each partner organisation has its own rich history of success, but together we believe we can lead the way in evidence-based recovery pathways that we can tailor to meet local and individual needs.
Right now, one of our partners, Richmond Fellowship, is looking for a team leader to join our West Berkshire Housing Support Service. You'll be responsible for managing the day-to-day delivery of a range of our supported housing services and floating support services. You'll also:
Be responsible for resource management, including line managing and supervising front line staff, managing budgets, flexible rolling rota, developing training in line with business plan/LAP and adhering to HR policies
Manage the 'risk load' within each service including assessing people we're supporting, allocating appropriate resources and ensuring safe working practices are in place
Deliver on contracts on a daily basis, including, where appropriate, being the first point of contact for contract managers
Make sure data entry into our management information and reporting systems is accurate, timely and in line with quality assurance requirements
Carry out investigations into incidents, including preparing reports and resolving issues locally or escalating them up to your locality manager.
To succeed, you'll need an outcome driven, solution focused approach and a proven ability to lead, supervise and motivate staff and delegate work appropriately. You'll also need:
Experience of understanding the needs of complex clients and managing resources effectively
Ideally, a professional social care qualification such as CQSW or CIOH
A flexible approach to working hours and willingness to participate in on call arrangements
A flair for managing conflicting demands and priorities and meeting deadlines
A firm but inclusive management style and the ability to lead by example
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
In return, you can expect some great benefits, including 25 days' holiday (pro rata), contributory pension scheme, employee assistance programme and childcare vouchers, plus exceptional professional development and training opportunities.
This is a part time post at 22.5 hours per week.
Subsequent salary progression up to a maximum of GBP25,705 (pro rata) will apply to this post, subject to the postholder meeting the eligibility and performance criteria.
