Team Manager - Family Help Team - Enfield
An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced and motivated Team Manager to lead a Family Help Team in Enfield. This is a key role for a qualified social work professional who can provide strong, child-centred leadership and ensure families receive effective, timely and coordinated support.
You will manage, support and develop a team of social workers and family support practitioners, promoting high standards of practice and positive outcomes for children and young people. Your responsibilities will include overseeing referrals and assessments, allocating work, monitoring caseloads, chairing professional discussions and ensuring that plans are purposeful, proportionate and regularly reviewed.
You will provide reflective supervision, case consultation and constructive challenge, helping practitioners to manage risk effectively and make sound professional decisions. You will also ensure that work is completed in line with statutory requirements, relevant legislation, safeguarding procedures and local practice standards. A strong focus on early intervention, relationship-based practice and improving outcomes for children will be central to your approach.
Working collaboratively with families, schools, health services, police and other partner agencies, you will promote a joined-up response to need and risk. You will contribute to service development, quality assurance activity, performance monitoring and continuous improvement, while supporting a positive culture of learning, accountability and inclusion.
You must hold a recognised social work qualification and be registered with Social Work England, with substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s social care. Experience of supervising practitioners and managing complex safeguarding or family support work is essential. We are looking for an organised and resilient leader with excellent communication, analytical and decision-making skills, who can balance competing priorities while keeping children’s welfare at the heart of practice.
The successful candidate will demonstrate professional integrity, sound knowledge of relevant legislation and the ability to inspire confidence in colleagues and families. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, partnership working and continuous professional development is essential.
