Yes in principle. If it exists in nature. we do however not know how heavy the super partner particles are. Above a certain mass LHC can't make them. There are three reasons to hope that they are not too heavy. The 125 gev Higgs needs somewhat heavy super partners, but if they are too heavy beyond that point, parameters need to be increasingly fine tuned. Gettng realistic dark matter becomes more tricky if super partners are very heavy. Thirdly, the unification of forces works best if super partners are not too heavy. The range where it works best however is at the upper end of LHC reach and beyond that, so this is a somewhat ambivalent.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
