Description
Full Time – 2-year Fixed Term Contract (with the possibility of extension subject to funding)
Work Redbridge, the Councils employment support and job brokerage service is seeking a Team Leader to manage a team of Supported Employment Specialists to deliver our new Connect to Work programme in Redbridge. Connect to Work is a voluntary Supported Employment programme funded by the UK Government, as part of the Get Britain Working strategy. It aims to support people with disabilities health conditions, or those facing other challenges that affect their ability to get a job, to find suitable employment and progress into work. It will also help those in work but at risk of losing their job, to stay in employment.
This is an exciting time as we grow the team, and we are seeking a Team Leader who will shape our brand-new IPS and SEQF service from the ground up and help adults with disabilities and health conditions thrive in work. If you’re a strategic, passionate leader and ready to make a lasting impact, this is your opportunity to build something meaningful.
As an experienced Team leader, you will lead the team to design, implement and deliver new ways of working to meet the employment support needs of vulnerable residents. You will manage a team of Work Redbridge supported employment specialists (IPS or SEQF) to achieve positive outcomes for residents by managing the client referral and triage process, health integration, caseload management, rapid job search to secure sustainable job outcomes for residents and meet programme performance indicators.
You will have knowledge and experience of delivering supported employment practice such as Individual Placement Support (IPS) Fidelity and / or Supported Employment Quality Framework and leading the team to achieve high fidelity. The Team Leader will also manage a small caseload of clients to promote practice-based delivery through experience and learning. Please specify in your application if you are applying for IPS or SEQF Team Leader, based on your knowledge and experience.
The role will promote economic well-being, tackle in-work poverty and reduce dependency on public sector resources, working collaboratively across Work Redbridge partners, including integration with Council teams, Health Services, Community & voluntary sector partners, and local employers.
Interview date to be confirmed.
