Would you like to join the Barnardo's Families Team offering bespoke support to families in Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales?
This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual to join Barnardo's as a Team Manager within the Resilient Families Service, working across RCT, to support children, young people and their families. Our team is split into two areas covering the East and West of RCT. There is a Team Manager post in each area, and this vacancy is for the Team Manager of the East Team, covering the Cynon Valley and East half of Taff Ely.
What is the Resilient Families Service?
The Resilient Families Team is part of the Resilient Families Service providing an early intervention and prevention service for families with children/young people aged 0-18yrs across Rhondda Cynon Taff. The service increases the resilience levels of the children, young people and their families through working alongside other partner agencies to ensure intervention plans are effectively delivered, delivering direct support and advocating for the children, young people and their families.
What will the job involve?
As a Team Manager you will be a registered Social Worker and will line manage the team of Intervention Workers who are responsible for providing advice, guidance and support to families in accordance with the aims and objectives of the service. You will be responsible for:

• Responding to all safeguarding concerns received via C1/PPN referrals, disclosures or observations and escalating to Children's Services appropriately.
• Working in partnership with the Resilient Families Service Management Team, Children's Services, Education, Health and Community Agencies.
Please note, this role requires a Social Work qualification as an essential part of the criteria, however you will not hold any statutory duty as a Social Worker. You will be managing an early intervention service and supporting the team to deal with, respond and escalate any safeguarding concerns to Children's Services.
What are we looking for?
• Substantial experience working with children, young people and their families
• Management or supervision experience in a relevant setting with the capability in giving feedback to teams in relation to performance
• Demonstratable record of working constructively with partner agencies and commissioners
• Substantial experience of responding to, and escalating safeguarding concerns

Pay & Reward Framework
We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.
For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.
Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
