This is an opportunity for a qualified social work professional to provide strong, visible leadership within a fast-paced environment, ensuring children and families receive timely, proportionate and effective support. You will oversee the quality and consistency of practice, promote a child-centred approach and help ensure that safeguarding concerns are assessed and responded to in line with relevant legislation, policies and professional standards.

You will manage, support and develop a team of social workers and other practitioners, providing regular supervision, reflective practice, case oversight and performance feedback. Key responsibilities will include reviewing referrals, overseeing screening and information-sharing, applying thresholds for intervention, allocating work appropriately and ensuring that assessments and decisions are completed within required timescales.
