As Outreach Team Leader, you will play a key role in supporting adults with learning disabilities to achieve personalised outcomes and lead fulfilling lives within their communities.

Working as part of Haringey's Adult Social Care service, you will provide day-to-day leadership, guidance and support to a team of Outreach Support Workers, ensuring high-quality, person-centred support is delivered safely, consistently and in line with best practice.

You will coordinate and oversee a varied programme of community-based activities, working closely with people who use services, colleagues and partners to co-design opportunities that promote independence, wellbeing and inclusion.

The role involves staff supervision, operational coordination, activity planning, risk management and ensuring that resources and equipment are maintained and available to support effective service delivery.

As a key member of the service, you will coach and mentor staff, monitor performance and quality, contribute to support planning and risk assessments, and help ensure that services remain responsive to changing needs.

You will support the operational management of the Outreach Service and play an important role in driving continuous improvement and positive outcomes for the people we support.

The team supports adults with learning disabilities to access meaningful activities, build relationships, develop skills and participate fully in community life.

Working alongside the Team Manager, Programme Development Manager and Outreach Support Workers, you will help shape and coordinate a dynamic programme of opportunities that reflects the aspirations, interests and support needs of the people who use our services.

The team is committed to delivering personalised, strengths-based support and creating opportunities that enable people to live healthy, independent and rewarding lives.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced leader who is passionate about supporting adults with learning disabilities to achieve their goals and maximise their independence.

You will have experience in a supervisory role within an outreach or community-based learning disability service and a track record of leading, motivating and developing support staff.

You will have experience of delivering person-centred support, implementing best practice and monitoring outcomes for individuals with a range of support needs.

You will be confident in coordinating activities, managing competing priorities and ensuring services are delivered safely, effectively and in accordance with relevant policies and procedures.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication and interpersonal skills who can build positive relationships with people using services, families, colleagues and partner organisations.

You will be able to recognise changes in individual needs, contribute to risk assessments and support planning, and take appropriate action to ensure the wellbeing and safety of those you support.

You will be organised, proactive and resilient, with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to coach and mentor others.

Experience of working collaboratively across services, promoting inclusion and delivering high-quality outcomes will be essential.

Above all, you will share our commitment to empowering adults with learning disabilities to lead meaningful lives and participate fully in their communities.
