Team Manager

Family Safeguarding | Flexible Working | £6k retention | Perm Longstanding Snr Management

As projects seem to have wound down over the last 18months, it seems there are more experienced managers looking for long term placements, probably given the opportunity for knowledgeable practitioners to step up as the profession and demand has grown.

Albeit agency is attractive for many reason (we completely get it!) but what can a permanent role offer you?

These roles sit in their assessment & safeguarding team, which pick up the referral from section 47 through to permanence (passing over if the child needs more permanent support from the council to the CIC team).

Although being an experienced manager is a benefit, the council will also consider experienced and supportive advanced practitioners who are able to develop into the leadership role.

Salaries range from £49,498-£51,515

Locations: Cheltenham, Cotswolds, Stroud & Tewkesbury

The package includes:

• welcome payment of £4,000
• an annual retention payment of £2,000
• a relocation package of up to £8,000.
• Flexible working options,
• generous annual leave starting at 25.5 days and increasing to 30.5 days after five years, and the ability to purchase 10 additional days per year provide added flexibility.

The Council is dedicated to providing timely support for every child, aiming to ensure a happy and fulfilling life. This comes from focusing on continuous improvement, embracing effective social work practices (systemic practice & relational approach), and empowering staff to have a real impact on children's lives. The team structure is carefully designed to support staff with manageable caseloads, including a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner, and four Social Workers in each team.

As this is a statutory role, you do require a social work qualification & registration to Social Work England.
