Team Leader - London

Team Leader – London

Salary: c.£36,000

Location: St Mary's Hospital, Paddington 

Contract: Permanent

Closing Date: 10am, Wednesday 24th February 2021

As a Team Leader based in the A&E department of St Mary’s hospital, Paddington, you will enable your team to support young people and their families experiencing trauma or tragedy and will hold a caseload yourself.

To succeed in this role, you need to be a strong leader who advocates for a trauma-informed approach for the team and for the young people we support. You’ll have extensive experience working with young people who are vulnerable and high risk, an understanding of the impact that intense, short-term work can have, and a good understanding of the support ecosystem they need.

You need to be a people person, able to build and maintain relationships with colleagues and partners and to be a nurturing line manager to a small team working in a busy hospital environment. You must be a skilled communicator: as comfortable building a relationship with a young person as you are liaising with our clinical colleagues. You’ll be keen to keep learning, seizing training opportunities at Redthread and continuously reflecting upon and improving your practice.

During the Covid-19 outbreak, our teams are still working from the hospitals as we are classed as essential workers. You will need to do shifts at the hospital, as well as working some days from home depending on the needs of the team and the service.

Closing date: 10am on Wednesday 24th February.

First round online interview: Monday 1st March.
