Team Leader, Education ​/ Teaching

Help shape a reliable, well-run team by providing day to day structure, support, and clear leadership to our staff and students!

Upmo has been championing inclusion, creativity and independence for autistic and learning-disabled adults across Edinburgh and the Lothians since 2006. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and live a fulfilling life. Through a diverse range of creative, educational and community-based opportunities, we support our students to develop life skills, build confidence and realise their potential.

This is an exciting time to join Upmo as we continue to grow and strengthen our impact.

Team Leaders support the day to day delivery of our service, leading by example and engaging proactively to supporting both staff and students in order to create a structured, supportive environment where staff feel guided and individuals accessing the service feel valued and supported to achieve their goals.

This is a hands on role where you will act as the first point of contact for both Project Worker staff and the students who attend our workshops, providing guidance, support, and practical problem solving throughout the day. You will help maintain a positive and inclusive atmosphere while ensuring the service operates smoothly and consistently.
