Children's TM - C&F Team - Trafford
An experienced and committed Children’s Team Manager is required to lead a Children and Families social work team supporting children, young people and their families across Trafford. This is an important leadership role, responsible for promoting positive outcomes, ensuring children are safeguarded and helping social workers deliver high-quality, relationship-based practice.
You will provide day-to-day management, professional supervision and reflective support to a team of qualified social workers and family support practitioners. Your responsibilities will include overseeing assessments, child protection enquiries, children looked after, care planning, permanence planning and court proceedings. You will ensure that work is completed within statutory timescales, that children’s voices are central to decision-making and that plans are purposeful, evidence-based and regularly reviewed. You will also monitor caseloads, performance and practice quality, identify learning needs, and contribute to service development and continuous improvement.
Applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England, together with substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s social care. Experience of managing or supervising social workers within a statutory safeguarding environment is essential, as is a sound understanding of relevant legislation, guidance and effective multi-agency working. You should be confident making complex decisions, managing risk, supporting staff through challenging situations and promoting a culture of accountability, learning and professional development. Excellent communication, organisation and report-writing skills are required, along with the ability to build constructive relationships with children, families, colleagues and partner agencies. A commitment to equality, safeguarding and improving outcomes for children and young people is essential.
