Children's ATM - MASH Team - Buckinghamshire
An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified social work professional to join a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) team as an Assistant Team Manager. This is a key role in supporting effective safeguarding decisions and ensuring children and families receive timely, appropriate intervention when concerns are raised.
You will provide day-to-day support and professional guidance to social workers, helping to manage referrals, assess risk and determine the most suitable response. Working closely with colleagues from partner agencies, you will contribute to information-sharing, strategy discussions and decisions about thresholds for statutory intervention. You will promote a child-centred approach, ensuring that the voice, wishes and feelings of children remain central to all activity.
The role will include supporting the Team Manager with the allocation and oversight of work, monitoring quality and ensuring that assessments, records and decisions are completed to a high standard. You will contribute to supervision, case auditing, performance monitoring and continuous improvement, while offering advice on complex safeguarding matters. You may also support staff development, induction and the implementation of practice improvements across the service.
Applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You will have substantial experience of working with children and families in a statutory safeguarding environment, together with a sound understanding of relevant legislation, guidance and evidence-based practice. Experience within a MASH, referral and assessment or front-door service would be highly beneficial.
We are seeking a confident and reflective practitioner with strong analytical, communication and decision-making skills. You will be able to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced setting, manage competing demands and work constructively with professionals across agencies. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, safeguarding, professional accountability and positive outcomes for children is essential. An enhanced DBS check and satisfactory employment references will be required.
