Children's TM - CWD Team - Dudley
An experienced and qualified Children’s Team Manager is required to lead a specialist team supporting children and young people with disabilities. The role involves managing day-to-day practice, ensuring children receive safe, effective and personalised services that promote their wellbeing, development and independence. You will provide strong professional leadership, oversee complex cases and ensure that children’s voices, needs and lived experiences remain central to all decisions.
Your responsibilities will include supervising, mentoring and developing social workers and support staff; allocating and reviewing work; monitoring performance; and ensuring assessments, care plans, reviews and safeguarding actions are completed to a high standard and within statutory timescales. You will work closely with families, education, health professionals, care providers and other partner agencies to coordinate effective support and achieve positive outcomes. The role also requires you to manage risk, respond appropriately to concerns, contribute to strategy meetings and care proceedings where required, and promote consistent compliance with relevant legislation, guidance and local procedures.
Applicants must hold a recognised social work qualification and current professional registration, with substantial post-qualification experience in children’s social care and a sound understanding of working with children with disabilities. Previous experience of supervising staff, managing complex safeguarding or care cases, and leading a busy team is essential. You should be confident making professional decisions, managing competing priorities and communicating clearly with children, families and partner agencies. A commitment to strengths-based, relationship-focused practice, equality and inclusion is vital, together with the ability to work flexibly and maintain accurate, high-quality records. A full driving licence and the ability to travel within the local area may be required.
