Description
Do you have experience supporting adults with learning disabilities and/or autism? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
As a Team Leader, you'll play a key role in leading a small team to deliver outstanding, person-centred support. This role will cover services in Stevenage & Hatfield.
When you join us, you'll become part of an organisation rated ‘Outstanding’ by CQC. Our team has won numerous local and national awards for leading the way in person-centred support, and we're proud to make a real difference in the lives of the people we support.
About Us
At Partners in Support, you'll be part of a close-knit team that genuinely cares about the people we support and each other.
Since 2008, we've provided supported living services across Hertfordshire, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism to live the lives they choose in their own homes and communities. We're proud to be a local, values-led organisation that puts people before growth and believes in dignity, respect, compassion and partnership.
About the Role

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Lead by example
- Conduct supervisions and observations
- Ensure key documentation and compliance requirements are completed to a high standard
- Monitor training schedules
- Review support records, medication compliance and contribute to audits
You will also work one weekend a month, as part of your contracted hours. Being part of this team means being flexible to attend other services when required, getting to know the wider group of people we support.
Through regular check-ins, meaningful supervision, leadership development and ongoing training opportunities, we'll support you to build your skills and progress your career.
The shift patterns are (approx., subject to change): 7.15am to 2.45pm, 2.45 to 10pm, 10pm to 7.15am. We need you to be as flexible as possible to cover these shifts within a small team, all dedicated to one person.
What We're Looking For
