Head of Practice

3 months ago


Aldershot, Hampshire, United Kingdom Cafcass Full time

Dedicated. Supportive. Unique. Join an organisation that's just like you.


Here at Cafcass we support over 140,000 children and their families every year, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of each and every child and ensuring their voice is heard in Family Proceedings, which we'll sure you agree is very important work.


Let's make a difference. Together.
We are looking for two
Heads of Practice to cover our
South West region and
Hampshire. These roles will each cover part of the region and will require some travel.


As a
Head of Practice at Cafcass, you will draw on your considerable experience to lead and inspire those around you to ensure the delivery of high quality services and practice across
Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Gloucester.

You will be joining an organisation rated "outstanding" by OFSTED and winner of many prestigious awards such as Social Work Employer of the Year and others around flexible working and health and wellbeing.


Should you join us you will lead on internal practice improvement as well influence local delivery partners while also working on a mix of strategic and operational matters.

By ensuring Cafcass priorities, policies and plans are delivered to the highest possible standard, you and your teams will deliver positive outcomes for children and young people going through significant events including care proceedings, adoption and parental separation.


It takes someone special to be a Head of Practice
To be successful in this role you will be;

  • A highly effective Leader, able to influence others and lead change by providing assurance and inspiring confidence
  • Someone who thrives on the responsibility of ensuring quality of practice and service delivery across the operational area is not only sustained but continually improved
  • Motivated to achieve performance standards by supporting Service Managers to ensure strong, consistent performance management behaviours and processes are embedded
  • Recognised Social Work qualification
  • Significant post qualifying experience in a social work setting or equivalent working with children and families at a sufficient level to make an impact in this post
  • Demonstrable experience of achieving positive outcomes for children through working in a family justice environment
  • Evidence of professional development to support your progression into a Managerial role
  • Proven experience of managing staff, services and budgets at a senior level across a wide range of functions, including supervisory and/or practice management experience


We would also like to draw your attention that this role has been identified as suiting someone who has a
full driving licence.

This is because of the nature of the work undertaken, the geographical area involved, and that public transport is not considered a viable alternative.


Benefits that really benefit you


Should you join us, not only will you receive a competitive salary but a range of other benefits which we believe collectively makes for a market-leading offer.

Further information is in the attached document as is the formal job description / person specification and other relevant information.


Due to the nature of the role, as a Head of Practice you can expect a certain amount of travel in the role but we provide you with a hybrid laptop as well as a smart phone so you can work at court, at home and from our offices.

Whilst the areas you will be covering and working across are
Cornwall, Devon, Bournemouth and Portsmouth, we are able to be flexible on office location across our south service areas (Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Exeter, Plymouth, Bristol, Swindon, Reading and Oxford).


Timelines we're working to
We know how busy you are, so we'd like to give you some dates for your diary to help you understand the timescales we are working to:

  • **Closing date
  • **Tuesday 03 January 2023
- **Telephone interviews - **Tuesday 10 January 2023
- **Panel interviews -** Friday 20 January 2023

We look forward to hearing from you.


We welcome applicants from all backgrounds as we strive to achieve a workforce as diverse as the children and families we represent.

We are also a Disability Confident Employer which further underlines our commitment to employ, train, retain and develop the careers of colleagues with disabilities.
