As an Assistant Team Manager, you will play a crucial role in supporting Social Workers within the Family Help Hubs. Your responsibilities will include:

* Passion and commitment to improving outcomes and the lived experience of the children we serve.
* A Social Work qualification and registration with Social Work England.

You'll be part of a strong, safe, and supportive team environment, where your contributions are valued and recognized. In addition to a very competitive salary and benefits, we offer extensive training and development opportunities - with 5 CPD days - to enhance your skills and further your career.

* Annual Leave: Minimum of 25 days per annum (pro rata), rising to 28 days (pro rata) after 5 years' service, plus Bank Holidays.
