IRS Wellbeing Service Team Leader

We are looking for a team leader to join our GMIRS Wellbeing Service, which provides 1:1 wellbeing support and guidance to people on probation.

Back on Track is part of a partnership of charities working across Greater Manchester to deliver the GMIRS Wellbeing Service. The service aims to reduce reoffending by working with people who are on probation to improve their physical, emotional, and mental health and wellbeing, foster healthy relationships and move forward in their lives.

As a team leader you will bring your knowledge and experience to directly support participants of the programme, offer support and guidance to project workers, and provide coordination and developmental support to the Manchester GMIRS Wellbeing Service.

The role is rooted in casework delivery with responsibilities relating to line management and partnership working. Your approach will encourage independence and help people to work towards a positive future. You will be working with people who have a range of needs. This will include people who have experienced trauma, who have been homeless or lived in poverty, and people who face difficulties with mental health and problematic drug and alcohol use. As part of this role, you will also lead on development of our ‘South Hub’ offer in Wythenshawe, providing more group activity and co-location with partner agencies.

We deeply value diversity and lived experience and what it can bring to a team/role, and we welcome applications from people who may have faced disadvantage.

Back on Track promote a balanced and supportive work life for our colleagues. In our recent colleague survey, inclusion and fair treatment and organisational culture were our highest scoring areas. 100% said they are proud to be part of Back on Track and would recommend it as a great place to work.

Back on Track is a Greater Manchester charity that enables people to make lasting positive changes in their lives. Our learning centre is a place where people can belong, feel a sense of purpose, and get skills and guidance to make choices about the kind of future they want. This could be managing problematic drug and/or alcohol use, living a crime-free life, improving mental health and wellbeing, or finding and maintaining a stable home.
