You will have knowledge and experience of delivering supported employment practice such as Individual Placement Support (IPS) Fidelity and / or Supported Employment Quality Framework and leading the team to achieve high fidelity. The Team Leader will also manage a small caseload of clients to promote practice-based delivery through experience and learning. Please specify in your application if you are applying for IPS or SEQF Team Leader, based on your knowledge and experience.
