An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Children’s Duty Team Manager to join an Emergency Duty Team supporting children, young people and families outside standard office hours. This is a key safeguarding role, providing confident, timely and proportionate responses to urgent referrals and ensuring children remain safe during evenings, nights, weekends and public holidays.

You will lead and oversee the response to complex and high-risk situations, including child protection concerns, children requiring immediate accommodation, missing children, domestic abuse, looked-after children and urgent placement or care issues. You will assess information, make sound decisions and provide clear management oversight to social workers and other professionals. Where necessary, you will undertake direct work, coordinate emergency interventions and liaise with partner agencies such as the police, health services, education providers and placement teams.

The role will involve providing professional advice, allocating and prioritising referrals, authorising appropriate actions and ensuring that records, assessments and plans are accurate, timely and compliant with statutory requirements.

You must hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with the relevant professional regulator. Significant experience in children’s social care, including child protection, looked-after children and statutory assessments, is essential. You should also have previous experience of supervising or managing qualified social workers, excellent knowledge of safeguarding legislation and strong professional judgement in high-pressure situations.

The successful candidate will be an effective communicator who can remain calm, analytical and decisive when working with incomplete or rapidly changing information. A flexible approach to shift patterns is required, together with a commitment to equality, safeguarding, reflective practice and positive outcomes for children and families. A valid driving licence and the ability to travel when required may also be necessary.
