Deputy manager – Community Support Worker Team

Salary £30,328 for 35 hours per week 

Do you want to make a positive difference to the lives of others? 

Barnet Mencap has been helping people with learning disabilities and/or autistic adults in the London Borough of Barnet for over 65 years. We provide supported accommodation, leisure and learning activities, information, advice, and guidance, and so much more. All while being committed to equal opportunities and the safeguarding of children and adults.

We know job satisfaction, flexibility, work/life balance, and a great team are incredibly important. So, at Barnet Mencap, in addition to offering 30 days of annual leave per year (including Bank Holidays), we have a TOIL system to allow flexible working, and our team can benefit from other perks, including the Blue Light Card. Please note that this is predominantly an office-based and community role, but there may be the possibility of home working, subject to the needs of the project. 

We are seeking two Deputy Managers to support adults with moderate learning disabilities and autistic adults to live independently. One post will lead the Shared Houses team, and the other will lead the Outreach team. 

The role will suit you if you:

• have two years’ experience of working with adults with a learning disability and autistic people in a community setting

• have the passion to enable people with a learning disability and autistic people to participate fully in decisions that affect their lives

• understand the issues faced by people with a learning disability and autistic people living independently and have the skills to meet their practical, social and emotional needs

• have a good working knowledge of safeguarding issues

• have experience of managing and supervising staff

• have excellent communication and IT skills

• are working towards (or would like to work towards) a management diploma/NVQ Level 5
