Team Manager - Family Help Team - Gloucestershire
We are seeking an experienced and motivated Team Manager to lead a Family Help Team supporting children, young people and their families across a diverse range of needs. This is an opportunity for a qualified social worker to provide strong professional leadership, promote effective practice and help deliver positive outcomes for children and families.
You will manage, supervise and develop a team of social workers and family support practitioners, ensuring that assessments, plans and interventions are timely, purposeful and focused on the child’s welfare. You will provide reflective supervision, oversee case allocation and manage performance, quality assurance and professional development. The role will involve working closely with partner agencies, including education, health, early help and safeguarding services, to ensure coordinated support.
The successful candidate will contribute to service improvement, practice development and the implementation of strengths-based, relationship-focused approaches. You will support staff to manage risk effectively, make sound professional decisions and maintain accurate, high-quality records. The role may also involve chairing meetings, contributing to complex case discussions and ensuring that statutory responsibilities and relevant legislation are consistently met.
You must hold a recognised social work qualification and be registered with Social Work England. Substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s social care, together with experience of supervising or managing social work staff, is essential. You will have a sound understanding of child protection, safeguarding, assessment and care planning, as well as the confidence to manage competing priorities in a demanding environment.
We are looking for an inclusive and approachable leader who can inspire others, communicate clearly and build effective professional relationships. In return, you will have access to ongoing professional development, regular supervision and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to children and families. A full driving licence and the ability to travel as required may be necessary for this position.
