Children's ATM - MASH Team - Buckinghamshire
An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified social worker to join a Children’s Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) team in Buckinghamshire. This is a fast-paced role focused on responding to concerns about children and young people, ensuring that safeguarding information is gathered, analysed and acted upon promptly.
As an Assistant Team Manager, you will support the day-to-day operation of the MASH service, providing guidance and oversight to social workers and other professionals. You will help ensure that referrals are screened effectively, risks are identified at the earliest opportunity and decisions are made in line with statutory guidance, local procedures and professional standards.
Your responsibilities will include contributing to strategy discussions, overseeing assessments and providing consultation to partner agencies. You will work closely with colleagues across social care, education, health, police and other services to share information, assess need and determine the most appropriate response for each child and family. You will also support the allocation and prioritisation of work, maintain high-quality records and promote consistent, child-centred practice.
The successful candidate will hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You will have substantial experience in children’s social care, including safeguarding, referral and assessment work, and a sound understanding of relevant legislation and statutory frameworks. Experience of supervising or mentoring social workers, managing risk and making threshold decisions is essential.
You will be a confident communicator with strong analytical, organisational and decision-making skills. The ability to remain calm under pressure, manage competing priorities and build effective relationships with professionals and families is vital. A commitment to equality, strengths-based practice and achieving the best outcomes for children is expected.
This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to safeguarding practice while working within a supportive, multi-disciplinary environment. An enhanced DBS check and satisfactory employment references will be required.
