This is an exciting opportunity to join our client's established 'Someone to Talk to' service in a Team Lead role. The Team Lead will manage and oversee a team of staff and volunteers supporting young people across our client's two hubs in their North Locality, in Peterborough, Huntingdon and Wisbech. The Team Lead will work closely with the other Team Leads and Heads of Service to jointly ensure their multidisciplinary teams deliver excellent, safe, impactful and responsive services to young people.
They are looking for a highly motivated professional with experience working within a mental health or youth work role, and with experience of managing people. The Team Lead will bring strong expertise and leadership to their mental health support offer for young people aged 13 - 25 years, leading the teams delivering counselling and the wider, flexible emotional wellbeing offer.
They will be responsible for providing support with case allocation, case management, reflective practice, risk management and Safeguarding. They will provide day-to-day designated Safeguarding leadership, supported by the Head of Service and Director of Services. They will develop strong relationships with local organisations and statutory services to ensure effective joint working and support for young people. This role may deliver ad hoc case work to support young people with more complex needs but will hold only a limited ongoing, regular case load.
The hours of work for this role are predominantly within core opening hours of 10am to 6pm, with some evening / Saturday working based on a rota. Due to our client's service delivery, it is important that the Team Lead is available for hub-based work during their core working hours.
This role will work to our client's values of being young people led, collaborative, inclusive and striving for excellence.
