About the role
As a Senior Practitioner, you will be responsible for one-to-one support including carrying a case load for on-going work with specific individuals and for developing and reviewing personal support plans.

You will work closely with practitioners in a guidance and/or support and supervision role to promote good working practice and staff development. You will ensure that the resource centre provides a safe environment where people can relax, re-establish social skills and enhance quality of life. This is a role which promotes development as well as providing on-going support.
You will support the Locality Manager, Service Manager and Head of Services in their roles to meet national and funder criteria. You will identify gaps in the service where they arise and implement solutions in partnership with your line manager.
