The role:
We are looking for a Social Work Manager to help us on our improvement journey. Come and join us on our Restorative Journey of Improvement to gain the best for children and families in Herefordshire.
We need a qualified and experienced children’s social work manager to manage one of five social work teams, undertaking Safeguarding & Support work. You will be experienced in child in need and child protection work, PLO pre-proceedings, care proceedings and adoption work.
You will manage a team of social workers and family support workers with input from a Managing Practitioner within our new locality structure. You will be committed to providing the highest quality of supervision and case direction, focussing at all times on improving outcomes for children. You will be organised and a strong communicator and decision-maker. You will work effectively as part of a service management team, committed to embedding good practice, with a focus on relationship based and restorative practice.
Herefordshire is on a journey and we would like you to be part of our next chapter. This is an exciting opportunity to have a genuine impact on the local authority and help improve and protect the children and young people within it.
You will be fully qualified (Degree in Social Work or equivalent), with significant post qualification social work experience, plus evidence of CPD and Social Work England registration.
Your proven record of effective service delivery will include managing staff and budgets, while implementing service and quality improvement methods successfully in pursuit of challenging performance expectations.
Herefordshire Council Safeguarding & Support Teams
The Children’s Safeguarding & Support teams are based across Herefordshire as we move to a locality-based model. Teams will be located in the North, South and Central areas of the county with good transport links to get around the City as needed. The staff are very welcoming and are always keen to offer help and guidance if needed to anyone new to the team.
There will be six teams which are made up of a Team Manager and five social workers each. The locality base for this post is yet to be confirmed, however the candidate will either be located in Hereford City (at Plough Lane Offices), Ross-on-Wye or Leominster, with flexibility for working at home within a plan agreed as part of your appointment to the post, however you will be expected to attend some meetings in person and attend the office as agreed each week.
We work alongside families in improving outcomes for their children, we have a restorative approach to social work and this is also evident in the team culture and senior management style as we are available for discussions on complex matters, working together to ensure the right outcomes are achieved for our families.
Social Workers work closely with the Council’s Legal Team to complete Court applications, which can be a learning experience for Social Workers but plenty of support is available to help when needed. We have Case Progression Officers who support the teams in ensuring we meet court timescales and contribute to identifying training that may be required to ensure that our staff feel equipped & supported.
Regular supervision takes place each month and you will have supervision with a Service Manager, who is available on a daily basis, for both formal and informal supervision sessions and case discussions.
