Team Leader - North Somerset Community Connect
£34,753 per annum + benefits | Weston-Super-Mare | Full Time
Permanent | 37 hours per week | Hybrid with community-based working
Your Leadership. Our Communities. Life-Changing Connections.
At Curo, we believe in the power of connection to transform lives. Our North Somerset Community Connect team works magic every day - turning isolation into community, confusion into clarity, and problems into practical solutions.
This hands-on team leader role puts you at the heart of our person-centred social prescribing service. Managing a dedicated team of 5 experienced wellbeing professionals, you'll ensure we continue delivering the high-quality support that commissioners and customers love us for.
You'll split your time between day-to-day operational management, hands-on team coaching, and vital relationship building with commissioners and community partners across North Somerset.
What you'll be doing
- Managing, coaching and developing a team of 5 wellbeing workers, village agents and community development coordinators
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with commissioners, GPs, and statutory agencies across North Somerset
- Ensuring contract compliance and delivery of excellent outcomes that secure our service's future
- Managing performance and supporting your team to deliver tailored, person-centred support
- Representing Curo at partnership meetings and community events
- Monitoring and reporting on key performance indicators to demonstrate impact
- Coordinating resources to ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery across East and West North Somerset
- Working flexibly across North Somerset communities, with Weston-Super-Mare as your hub
- Being visible in communities rather than office-based - meeting partners, supporting your team, and ensuring we remain embedded in local areas from Portishead to Clevedon and beyond
- Supporting service development and expansion opportunities where appropriate
What you'll get in return
Beyond a competitive salary of £34,753 and the chance to make meaningful change every day, you'll get:
- 26 days annual leave per year (plus bank holidays) rising to 29 days after 3 years
- Your birthday off as an extra holiday
- Homes for Good bonus
- Up to 10% matched pension contribution
- Flexible benefits which might include a Health Cash Plan
- Access to an Employee Assistance Programme for your wellbeing
