London, England, United Kingdom Temporary Manager

Reference: 671030

An experienced and committed Children’s Team Manager is required to lead a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) team within a busy children’s social care service. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified social worker with strong leadership skills and a thorough understanding of safeguarding practice to make a meaningful difference to children, young people and families.

You will provide effective day-to-day management, professional supervision and practice leadership to a team of social workers and support staff. You will oversee the screening, assessment and prioritisation of referrals, ensuring that safeguarding concerns are responded to promptly and proportionately. The role will involve making sound decisions in line with statutory guidance, local procedures and recognised social work practice standards.

Working closely with colleagues across social care, education, health, police and other partner agencies, you will promote effective information-sharing and coordinated decision-making. You will ensure that children’s voices, needs and lived experiences remain central to assessments and interventions, while maintaining accurate records and high-quality casework. You will also contribute to service development, performance monitoring, audits, recruitment and the continuous improvement of practice.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You will have substantial post-qualifying experience in children’s social care, including safeguarding and assessment work, together with experience of supervising or managing practitioners. A strong knowledge of the Children Act, statutory safeguarding guidance, thresholds of need and relevant legal frameworks is essential.

We are seeking a confident, resilient and organised leader who can manage competing priorities, support staff through complex and challenging work, and make clear, evidence-based decisions. Excellent communication, partnership-working and analytical skills are required, along with a commitment to anti-discriminatory practice and achieving positive outcomes for children. The successful candidate will be able to work flexibly in a fast-paced environment and demonstrate a consistent focus on quality, accountability and professional development.
