Adolescent Safeguarding Team Lead

About the Role
The Adolescent Safeguarding Manager will lead a team of social workers in delivering statutory social work with adolescents aged 13-17 who have been referred to the service due to contextual harm. The team works closely with police, education, and health partners to hold strategies and deliver robust responses to harm in the community.
The successful candidate will review contacts and referrals across a wide spectrum of contextual safeguarding needs, including children who may be persistently missing, have been coerced into sexual or criminal exploitation, have been violent to other children or experienced serious youth violence in the community, at risk due to online activity or grooming, including radicalisation.
The team will work with families and partners to keep children at home where this is safe to do so. If interventions are not working, children may be considered for the SHIFT team to provide a robust long-term intervention, prior to court or care proceedings if possible.
The Adolescent Safeguarding Manager will ensure that visits are carried out as required and that social workers deliver meaningful direct work and interventions. The role requires a passion for working with adolescents who present with trauma-led behaviours and the ability to role model best practice with workers.
About You
- You are a social work manager who is passionate about working alongside young people and their families to reduce exploitation and harm in the community.
- You see the stage of adolescence as a time of significant change and opportunity to influence positive self-identity and choices for their best life into adulthood.

- You are experienced at delivering direct work and able to support social workers in their direct work with adolescents to support them to identify positive life goals, understand and respond to risk safely and have healthy relationships.
- You work well with other professionals such as the police, schools, and health partners and those who can provide targeted youth support, sexual exploitation intervention, or substance misuse services to make sure that the best services are offered to some of the most vulnerable young people in the area.
