The Role

They are looking for a Service Manager to oversee its Young People's Team.

As the Young People's Team Service Manager, you will be working with a committed, diverse team, of approximately 14 staff, who support young people across Leeds with issues related to drugs and alcohol. In addition, you will help develop the skills of this highly valuable team as you lead them towards personal fulfilment—and career success!

The service supports young people up to the age of 18, as well as offering support and treatment for drug or alcohol use to young adults aged 18 - 24.

As a Service Manager for the Young People’s Team, they are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting young people to reach their potential and recognise the positive impact quality drug and alcohol interventions can have on young lives.

If you have less experience of managing staff, they're willing to overlook this if you can provide us with evidence of unique skills or talents.
