Being a Team Leader is the first step to management. You’ll provide guidance and support for your staff, but also work with our customers. If you want to build a future at Look Ahead, this is a great way to gain valuable experience. When you’re free to develop and progress, you can feel at home in your career.
You’ll be helping to manage a service day to day, which might be for people with mental health needs, learning disabilities or for those who are homeless. Alternatively, it could be for young people leaving care. You’ll resolve problems, deal with daily management and administration and make sure the service meets the high quality standards that we set ourselves.
At the same time, you’ll be there for your team, providing supervision, leading meetings and making sure everyone feels motivated. Part of that is developing people’s skills, so they can see their abilities grow - and so we can offer an even better service.
What you need
Thanks to your experience, you’ll understand the day to day challenges of working on the frontline. With this insight, you’ll be a great Team Leader for your staff, helping them give their very best, with the help of your Contract Manager.
As a person, you’ll be practical, organised and always calm in a crisis. You enjoy working in a team and deal with others respectfully and sensitively. Crucially, you’re also resilient and able to adapt to changing circumstances. This approach is essential and will take you far at Look Ahead.
