Here at North Yorkshire Council, we are extremely proud of the work our Children’s Services do, having been rated as Outstanding across all areas by Ofsted. We are now pleased to be offering the opportunity to join our highly acclaimed service and help us continue to offer an excellent provision.

We are looking for a full time Team Manager who shares our values and passion to improve outcomes for Children and Young People. This is a unique opportunity for someone to join the team working alongside another permanent Team Manager. Having two Team Managers within the team for additional support in this role is a great way to share workload and have the ability to share responsibility. There is also 3 Practice Supervisors and Social Workers. You will have a good understanding of the challenges that children and families face and want to truly make a positive change whilst driving forward the promotion and development of the Strength in Relationship Practice model, which puts effective relationships with children and families at its heart. 

As a Partner in Practice, we are leading the way in social work with children and their families; our work is child-centred and there is a longstanding, clearly embedded model of practice, based on building effective relationships with children, young people and families. One of the primary aspects of the role of Team Manager is to lead and manage Social Workers with the support of Practice Supervisors to ensure the delivery of an effective social work service to children and their families in accordance with the relevant policies and procedures.

 

This role will require you to have a degree in Social Worker. As you continue to develop, you may decide you want to manage other social worker professionals and we support this with the First line leadership programme in conjunction with a range of corporate leadership programmes facilitated by the council itself. We're proud to support the Local Government Association's Return to Social Work programme, offering former social workers free training so they can return to social work.

 

We are also committed to providing ongoing support in what we appreciate can be a rewarding yet challenging role. If you are committed to delivering a high standard of practice, we would love to hear from you.

 

For an informal discussion about this role please contact Sarah Howarth or Heidi Scott-Nelson Group Managers for Family Assessment and Support Teams by email on Heidi.Scott-Nelson@northyorks.gov.uk or Sarah.howarth@northyorks.gov.uk  - we would very much welcome an informal conversation.

Help us continue to drive positive change and join our skilled and dedicated team – we look forward to receiving your application!
