Leader In Training (Disability Support Worker)
Leader In Training
The intent of this role is to provide a strong team leader succession plan and develop a greater base of leadership within SAI. As such, the Leader in Training will be internally trained and equipped in all aspects of the Team Leader role and general leadership competencies.
The expectation will be that, the Leader in Training will be next in line for a Team Leader role and, when a Team Leader vacancy occurs, they will automatically assume the role of Team Leader. It is important to note that the Leader in Training may, at SAI’s discretion, be moved to assume the role of Team Leader at a different home than the one they have trained at – this could occur at hiring or as a vacancy arises. Therefore, the willingness to be open and flexible in this manner will be essential.
Additionally, the Leader in Training will be designated specific tasks within the home and will be required to be on call for 5 days per month, and during Team Leader vacation or leaves. The intent of the Leader In Training is to develop the necessary leadership skills, and create a strong succession plan that will translate into a Team Leader position.
