Summary
Come, join us and be part of our day service team in Lincolnshire. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives, creating sustainable community-based support which will have a lasting impact. We have been investing in our services, re-inventing ourselves and we have big plans to play an even greater part in our communities. We have high expectations and want everyone to have the chance to reach their potential.
Are you an experienced manager, passionate about creating positive change, adaptable, determined to make your mark and help us to achieve our ambitious plans? If you’ve got experience of working collaboratively, inspiring teams, helping them to develop, we’d love to hear from you.
About us
We are here for the whole community, working together to create partnerships and offer a wide range of opportunities which benefit the whole area. Our passion is to help the people that we support to live full, meaningful and active lives. We’re working to connect people across the County to promote wellbeing, finding pathways to work and independence.
There are two jobs - one in Spalding and the other in Skegness. From our established community base, you’ll work with a Team Leader, and our staff team to lead, inspire and develop the existing service, creating even more community connections, finding exciting new opportunities which give people with learning disabilities the chance to try something new, develop skills, and make something happen in the community and the lives of other people. The people we support want the chance to try new things and meet new people, as well as keep developing new skills, do more volunteering, get work experience and help local people. We know that everyone has something to contribute to their community and it’s our job to help them make that happen.
We have set ourselves an exciting agenda of change and improvement and we have already taken our first steps on the journey.
About you
We’re looking for two Assistant Team Leaders who have the commitment and skills to inspire and help manage our team at Spalding/Skegness, as well as be a key part of our wider management team across the County. Adapting and responding to the needs, wants, and wishes of the people we support, you’ll play a key role in delivering our ambitious development plans.
Tell us about how your experience, skills and abilities can help us make our plans a reality. We're looking for someone with strong management and leadership skills, including:
responsive decision making skills
a track record in managing and developing staff
great communication skills
the drive to make changes and look for new ways of working
a creative approach which inspires other
a love of working with a range of people, organisations and colleagues
Experience of working with or supporting people with disabilities would also be an advantage.
This role requires mobility throughout the county; therefore, a full UK driver’s licence and access to a vehicle are essential.
