Assistant Team Manager (Here4U team)
Children’s Services in Wokingham Borough Council are currently transitioning through a planned phase of redesign, in line with the National Reforms.
As part of this transformation phase, we have some fantastic opportunities that align with our systemic values and service goals.
We have an opening for an Assistant Team Manager to join us, initially in our Children We Care For team (Here4U). This role will be pivotal in supporting our Children We Care For Team (Here4U) by collaborating with the wider service, relentlessly focussing on child centred systemic practice, and bringing strong line management leadership skills. You will be able to make a real impact in how the team embeds new ways of working with children and families, and be involved in the reshaping of the services we provide.
The main focus of this Assistant Team Manager role, will be to manage a small team of Social Workers, who ensure that the needs of our children are being met with long term aspirations for their lives. Your role of Assistant Team Manager during this planned service transformation, will be to support your team of Social Workers through a period of change as an informed and experienced professional. You will also have more opportunities to work alongside our other Social Work teams in a collaborative and energetic way, as the service reshapes and evolves through the redesign process.
