You will provide reflective supervision, oversee assessments and plans, and ensure that practice meets relevant legislation, statutory guidance, local procedures and professional standards. The role will involve making sound decisions about risk, need and intervention, while promoting strengths-based practice and meaningful participation from children, parents and wider family networks.
Key responsibilities will include quality assuring casework, reviewing plans and outcomes, allocating work appropriately, monitoring performance and ensuring that children receive the right help at the right time. You will work collaboratively with education, health, early help, youth justice and other partner agencies, contributing to effective multi-agency safeguarding arrangements.

The successful candidate will hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England, with substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s services. You will have proven experience of supervising or managing social work staff, alongside a strong understanding of safeguarding, assessment, family support and relevant children’s legislation. Experience of working within a family help or integrated service would be advantageous.
You will be an approachable and resilient leader with excellent communication, organisation and decision-making skills. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, continuous improvement and achieving the best outcomes for children and families is essential. You must be able to travel between local offices and service locations as required, with appropriate arrangements in place for work-related travel.
