You have an excellent understanding of mental health issues, substantial experience of working in a housing and social care environment and the ability to lead a team by example. You’d also 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. Welcome to Waythrough as a Team Manager.
Box Tree Farm Crisis House is a mental health, supported housing and community based service. We offer a range of support for people with mental ill health to achieve personal wellbeing and recovery, whilst providing a safe and supportive environment over a short term period whilst they adjust and reintegrate back into independent living and the wider community. We have been operating in the area for a number of years and offer a staffed service to our residents aged 18 and upwards.
This challenging front line role comes with responsibility for the day-to-day management of the service, contracts, staff and building maintenance. You will be responsible for promoting the service and managing all referrals. Line managing and provide supervision to front-line staff and volunteers, providing individual and group support sessions to individuals using the service, ensuring data entry to reporting systems is accurate and timely, and taking responsibility for the service budget – these are just some aspects of this varied and vital leadership role.
To succeed, you’ll need a proven relevant background that includes experience of managing a caseload of individual with complex needs and, ideally a relevant professional qualification would be useful but not essential, as would experience of carrying out investigations and writing reports and recommendations and managing a budget. More important however, is your ability to lead, supervise and motivate staff and delegate work appropriately and managing conflicting demands and priorities in a timely manner. A willingness to participate in on call arrangements and a flexible attitude to working hours are essential attributes too, as is tact and diplomacy and a firm but inclusive management style and open and encouraging demeanour.
