Who we are?
Teens+ provides post school education and lifelong learning services for young people with complex communication needs including autism and learning disabilities.
The service is person centred and individualised to ensure each student, regardless of their needs, can reach their fullest potential.
Where are we?
We currently have centres in Edinburgh (Liberton Brae, Ravenscroft and McDonald Road, Leith) and in East Lothian, Musselburgh.
This vacancy is for the McDonald Road Centre, Edinburgh.
Purpose of the role!
The Education Supervisor is a key member of the centre’s management team, responsible for leading and supporting staff, overseeing the delivery of high-quality education, and contributing to the overall running of the centre.
The role involves providing effective supervision and people management, working alongside the Centre Manager to manage the staff team and ensure consistent, values-led practice. In partnership with the Education Tutor, the Education Supervisor oversees education delivery to ensure all learning is individualised, meaningful, and aligned with each student’s abilities, needs, and future goals.
The Education Supervisor plays an active role in communication with students, families, and professionals, ensuring a collaborative approach to support and outcomes. They also support the operational management of the centre, including designated compliance responsibilities, ensuring adherence to regulatory frameworks and organisational standards.
Confident in decision-making, the Education Supervisor will contribute to the day-to-day leadership of the centre, including deputising in the absence of the Centre Manager, and supporting wider organisational priorities and continuous improvement.
Who are we looking for?
The successful applicant will have proven experience of working with adults with additional support needs using a person-centred approach.
You will be a confident leader, working closely with the Centre Manager, coaching and leading the staff team to meet the needs of the service, deliver high standards of performance, and create a positive and supportive environment for both staff and students.
You will understand how to connect with the local communities and offer opportunities for development and growth to the students.
You will consistently adhere to the organisation’s values, acting as a positive role model at all times by demonstrating professionalism, integrity, accountability, and respect in your day-to-day practice. You will lead by example, promoting a positive culture, encouraging collaboration, and inspiring others to uphold the standards and behaviours expected across the organisation.
You will be enthusiastic and self-motivated, and must be able to work on your own initiative and as part of a team.
You will be able to communicate effectively 1:1 as well as to groups of people.
