Practice Leader
A person who is either a direct line manager or in a specialist position and is a skilled practitioner whose role is to support and guide the practice of support workers. Being a practice leader involves: supervising staff, leading team meetings, coaching support workers, modelling good practice, and planning shifts for support workers so they know where and with whom they will be working. A practice leader aims to ensure that everything that happens in a disability support service is focussed on supporting people with disabilities to have the best possible quality of life.
