Children's TM - CSW Team - Cheshire
We are seeking an experienced and motivated Children’s Social Work Team Manager to lead a dedicated team supporting children, young people and their families. This is an opportunity to provide strong professional leadership within a child-centred service, ensuring that children’s welfare, safety and wellbeing remain at the heart of all decision-making.
You will manage, support and develop a team of qualified social workers, overseeing caseloads and ensuring that assessments, plans and interventions are completed to a consistently high standard. Your responsibilities will include providing regular supervision, quality-assuring records and reports, monitoring performance, managing risk and promoting effective partnership working with education, health, police and other agencies. You will contribute to service development, implement policies and procedures, and ensure practice complies with relevant legislation, statutory guidance and safeguarding requirements. You will also take an active role in complex case discussions, escalation processes, court work and the continuous improvement of outcomes for children and families.
Applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and current professional registration, with substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s social care. Experience of supervising or managing social workers, together with a sound understanding of child protection, children in care, care proceedings and relevant legal frameworks, is essential. You should be confident making evidence-based decisions, managing competing priorities and providing clear, constructive professional challenge. Excellent communication, organisational and leadership skills are required, alongside a commitment to relationship-based practice, equality and continuous learning. The role may require travel between local settings and attendance at meetings outside standard office hours when necessary. In return, you will join a supportive professional environment with opportunities for development and the chance to make a meaningful difference to children and families.
