We are seeking an experienced and motivated Team Manager to lead a Family Help team supporting children, young people and their families. This is an opportunity for a qualified social worker with strong leadership skills and a commitment to improving outcomes for children through effective, strengths-based practice.
You will manage, support and develop a team of social workers and family practitioners, ensuring that work is planned, coordinated and delivered to a consistently high standard. You will provide reflective supervision, professional guidance and constructive challenge, while promoting a culture of learning, accountability and continuous improvement.
Your responsibilities will include overseeing assessments, plans and interventions; ensuring that children’s needs, wishes and feelings remain central to decision-making; and monitoring the quality, timeliness and impact of work. You will manage risk effectively, contribute to safeguarding arrangements and ensure that statutory duties, policies and relevant legislation are followed.

The successful candidate will hold a recognised social work qualification and current professional registration. You will have substantial post-qualification experience in children’s social care, including experience of supervising or managing practitioners. A sound understanding of child protection, family support, assessment and care planning is essential, together with the ability to make balanced decisions in complex and changing circumstances.
You will be an approachable and resilient leader with excellent communication, organisation and analytical skills. You will be able to inspire confidence, promote professional development and build effective relationships with children, families, colleagues and partner services. In return, you can expect a supportive working environment, opportunities for continued development and the chance to make a meaningful difference to families in the community.
