Job Introduction
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate, proactive and credible Team Leader to work within the Violence Intervention Project (VIP) to lead a team who work with young people who are either perpetrators or victims of violence in Leicestershire.
The role of YP Team Leader will be based at Friar Lane but will be expected to also work out of Leicester Royal Infirmary and Euston Street Police Station; therefore, the team leader will need to be able to obtain/pass police vetting.
The team meets young people in reachable moments and engages them to make positive changes to their lives. The team engages with these vulnerable young people at this key opportunity to help make a difference and support them to move away from violence towards safer, healthier, more productive lives.
As a Team Leader, you will be responsible for people management, partnership working, data reporting and monitoring KPIs. You will need to be confident in your understanding of Turning Point governance and process and able to manage interagency relationships. You will represent Turning Point and advocate for the service and development in areas where opportunities may arise.
This is a full-time (37 hours) opportunity. The VIP team works 7 days a week, so the team leader may at times need to be available. The successful applicant will manage and support the VIP service. This is an integral role and will require strong leadership skills, an ability to present and develop strong partnerships especially with the Violence Reduction Network (our Commissioners) whilst keeping close operational oversight.
Role Responsibility
As a Team Leader, you will have the opportunity to:
* Provide leadership to a team of dedicated staff, enabling individuals to thrive and develop in their abilities to support our service users.
* Provide direct line management ensuring the necessary support and training is in place for the team, managing HR related matters in line with policy.
* Foster a strong and supportive environment where your team and colleagues work collaboratively to achieve key performance indicators for the service.
* Contribute to service improvement initiatives and ensure adherence to best practices and quality standards.
* Build and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders, including commissioners, partner agencies, and service users.
The Ideal Candidate
Essential Requirements:
* Demonstrable leadership skills and flexible and adaptable leadership style.
* In-depth understanding and ability to operationally and performance manage the functions of the team I lead.
* Excellent communication skills (verbal/written).
* Ability to adapt to respond to staff, commissioners/partners and people we support.
* Strong organisational, time management and prioritisation skills.
* Ability to remain calm and resilient in high-pressure environments.
