Prudent Supported Living Limited is a newly established Supported Living provider for young people aged 16+ with a diagnosed Learning Disability, Autism and associated needs.

We are currently recruiting an individual with the skills to clinically deliver interventions and leading on implementing Positive Behaviour Support in a Team Leader role to join our innovative and enthusiastic team. This is an opportunity to join a values focused organisation with incredible career progression potential including funded training, mentoring and development to gain the relevant skills, qualifications and experience required for continued professional development, promotion and leadership opportunities.

What we offer

We know that our Team is our greatest asset which is why we offer competitive rates of pay above not only the National Minimum Wage but the Real Living Wage.

The definition of Prudent is “Acting with or showing careand thoughtfor the future”. We believe it is our responsibility to not only act with care and thought for the future of our service users but also for that of our team members. We have a strong belief that by supporting you to be the best you can be, you will be able to support our service users to be everything they want to be. That is why we have in house accredited trainers who deliver a full and supplementary suite of courses and offer a wide range of development plans and resources.

Training and Development

We provide full face to face training and induction prior to starting work with our service users at a rate of £11.44/hour.

Your working Day

Everyday is different just like our Young People.

You will support our young person to ensure that they have a filled and fun day each day. Ensure that our young person is attending collage/ school but also ensure that they are setting achievable goals that we can support our young person to reach.

For this role previous experience of working with children and/or adults who present with behaviours that challenge is essential, as is previous experience of supporting people with Learning Disabilities.

As a Team Leader you will be part of the doing the daily/weekly checks and supporting the rest of the team to ensure we are doing the best job possible for our Young person.

You will be involved in ensuring that the young persons home is running well, medication ordered, menu plans, activity plans, maintenance issues reported, supporting young person to engage in the local community.

Paper work is very important as a Team leader and your role will be to ensure that all the paperwork is to the highest standard that we will expect as do CQC and OFSTED.

What is most important to us is your values:

Care: We care about and invest in you as a team member so that in turn you can provide high quality care and support to our service users.

Resilience: It is important that you work to positively encourage and build upon the emotional resilience of our service users to ensure they are prepared for independence.
