Job Description:
Why Work for us: Employee benefits (southampton.gov.uk)
Children’s Services Team Manager:- £54,599 - £61,658 (Plus Market Supplement, where appropriate)
In Southampton our staff are cared for and stretched in equal measure. We all need managers and leaders who listen to us, inspire us, support us, and provide a safe environment for us to practice at our very best. Our Team managers are pivotal to our strong social work family, where practitioners and feel safe to learn from honest mistakes, are supported to develop enduring relationships with children and families and are actively encouraged to share their views about the environment in which they work.
Whether this is your first step into management or you are looking for a change, we would love to hear from you.
Please indicate on your application which team you would prefer.
Team Manager posts we are looking to recruit to are:
* Children in care (Pathways through Care)
* Fostering
We are looking for passionate, dynamic leaders who are able to energise others with their vision and drive for delivering excellent services for children. We are proud to be creating a City where children are kept safe from harm and families are supported to raise their children in safe, loving environments.
During our recent Ofsted inspection where we received Good with Outstanding for Leadership and Management Ofsted noted:
Systemic practice is our overarching approach. Its principles encourage us to practise in a way that is appreciative, and strengths-based, with a belief in the family’s capacity to create real and sustainable change.A systemic approach invites us to be curious about our own and others’ perspectives, helping people in families to do the same. This can create space for new ideas and possibilities for change to emerge.
If this sounds like an opportunity that excites and interests you then we very much look forward to receiving your application.
