About the role:
We need a qualified and experienced children’s social work manager to manage one of five social work teams, undertaking Safeguarding & Support work.
You will be experienced in child in need and child protection work, PLO pre-proceedings, care proceedings and adoption work.
You will manage a team of social workers and family support workers with input from a Managing Practitioner within our new locality structure.
You will be committed to providing the highest quality of supervision and case direction, focussing at all times on improving outcomes for children.
You will be organised and a strong communicator and decision-maker.
You will work effectively as part of a service management team, committed to embedding good practice, with a focus on relationship based and restorative practice.
Your proven record of effective service delivery will include managing staff and budgets, while implementing service and quality improvement methods successfully in pursuit of challenging performance expectations.
The Children’s Safeguarding & Support teams are based across the county as we move to a locality-based model. Teams will be located in the North, South and Central areas of the county with good transport links to get around the City as needed. The staff are very welcoming and are always keen to offer help and guidance if needed to anyone new to the team.
There are six teams which are made up of a Team Manager and five social workers each.
We work alongside families in improving outcomes for their children, we have a restorative approach to social work and this is also evident in the team culture and senior management style as we are available for discussions on complex matters, working together to ensure the right outcomes are achieved for our families
Social Workers work closely with the Council’s Legal Team to complete Court applications, which can be a learning experience for Social Workers but plenty of support is available to help when needed. We have Case Progression Officers who support the teams in ensuring we meet court timescales and contribute to identifying training that may be required to ensure that our staff feel equipped & supported.
Regular supervision takes place each month and you will have supervision with a Service Manager , who is available on a daily basis, for both formal and informal supervision sessions and case discussions.
What you need:
- A degree in Social Work or equivalent
- Registered with Social Work England
- At least 3 years PQE direct employment within English Local Authorities
