What we are looking for in you
You will work collaboratively with and lead staff teams to build professional, positive, and trusting relationships with young people, colleagues, and other relevant agencies.
This role involves modelling, developing, and encouraging positive behaviours to young people and team members to ensure that young people can manage their accommodation effectively, whilst fostering and working towards a sustainable, long-term positive outcome.
We are growing and extending our passionate Young Persons’ Housing team in Somerset and are keen to find people who really believe in young people and their potential and who are motivated to make a real difference for young people and communities.
Creating professional, positive, and trusting relationships is key to working with every young person, in order to provide a supportive environment where they can make steps to move on to greater independence and achieve goals that matter to them. Team Leaders play an instrumental role in ensuring teams work effectively and consistently together to achieve the best outcomes for young people whilst striving to improve the standards of support and engagement young people receive. If you're ready to make a real impact and facilitate transformative change, we look forward to receiving your application.
Whilst there are systems in place to support you, a substantial part of the role includes the ability to work alone. Therefore, we require someone competent and confident when working independently and someone who can understand and work with complex and challenging behaviours appropriately.
