Team Manager - MASH - Wigan
We are seeking an experienced and motivated Team Manager to lead a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) within children’s social care. This is an opportunity to provide strong professional leadership in a fast-paced environment, ensuring children and young people receive timely, proportionate and effective safeguarding responses.
Based in Wigan, you will manage a skilled team of social workers and support staff responsible for screening referrals, gathering information from partner agencies, assessing risk and making informed decisions about the most appropriate response. You will promote a child-centred approach and ensure that practice is consistently focused on improving outcomes for children and families.
Your responsibilities will include overseeing day-to-day operations, allocating work, monitoring performance and ensuring statutory timescales, safeguarding procedures and quality standards are met. You will provide supervision, professional advice and reflective support to staff, promote continuous learning and take appropriate action where practice or performance requires improvement. You will also contribute to service development, audits, performance reporting and partnership arrangements with agencies including health, education, police and early help services.
You must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. The successful candidate will have substantial post-qualification experience in children’s social care, including safeguarding, assessment and multi-agency working, together with previous experience of supervising or managing social work staff. A sound understanding of relevant legislation, statutory guidance and evidence-based practice is essential.
We are looking for an approachable and resilient leader with excellent communication, decision-making and organisational skills. You will be able to manage competing priorities, challenge appropriately and build effective relationships with professionals, children and families. In return, you will have the opportunity to influence safeguarding practice, support the development of a dedicated team and make a meaningful difference to children and young people.
