Children's TM - MASH Team - Southwark
An experienced and motivated Children’s Team Manager is required to lead a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) team in Southwark. This is an important role focused on ensuring children and young people receive timely, proportionate and effective safeguarding responses. You will provide strong professional leadership in a fast-paced environment, working collaboratively with partner agencies to assess information, identify risk and determine the most appropriate intervention.
You will manage, support and develop a team of qualified social workers and family support professionals, promoting high standards of practice and consistent decision-making. Responsibilities will include overseeing referrals and contacts, allocating work, monitoring thresholds, reviewing assessments and ensuring that statutory duties are completed within required timescales. You will provide reflective supervision, practice guidance and performance management, while promoting a child-centred and strengths-based approach.
The role involves close partnership working with colleagues across social care, education, health, police and other services. You will contribute to strategy discussions, risk management and service improvement, ensuring that safeguarding concerns are appropriately escalated and that children’s voices remain central to planning. You will also support quality assurance activity, analyse performance information and contribute to the development of effective local procedures and practice.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current Social Work England registration, with substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s social care and safeguarding. Previous management or advanced practice experience within a MASH, referral and assessment, or child protection setting is essential. You will have a sound understanding of relevant legislation, statutory guidance and safeguarding procedures, alongside excellent analytical, communication and organisational skills.
The successful candidate will be confident making complex decisions, managing competing priorities and providing professional challenge in a multi-agency environment. A commitment to equality, inclusion and continuous improvement is essential. The post offers the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to safeguarding practice and improve outcomes for children and families across the local community.
