Job Description

Job Title: Deputy Team Manager - Social Work

Job Type: Full-time, Fixed-term contract

Location: Office based with option for hybrid working

The First Assessment Service (First Response) is seeking a highly motivated and experienced qualified Social Worker for a Deputy Team Manager position within the First Response Team.

As a Deputy Team Manager, you will be responsible for sharing decision-making and pathway identification for all contacts coming through our 'front door'. You will work closely with colleagues from other organisations in our 'Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub' and with internal colleagues across children's services.

You will have excellent risk assessment skills, a specific interest in short-term/decision-making work, and be able to support a team of non-social work qualified First Response Advisors in their safeguarding enquiries.

The work is pressurised and requires a capacity to absorb significant information and make threshold decisions, including overseeing follow-up enquiries when safeguarding referrals need to be progressed to a social work team.

The Deputy Managers are also expected to participate in our MASH arrangements as the social care representative.

The service has close contact with Early Help, universal services, social care, and multi-agency partnerships to ensure children and families receive a service appropriate to their needs.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Share decision-making and pathway identification for all contacts coming through our 'front door'
  • Work closely with colleagues from other organisations in our 'Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub'
  • Support a team of non-social work qualified First Response Advisors in their safeguarding enquiries
  • Participate in our MASH arrangements as the social care representative

Requirements:

  • Social work qualification and SW England registration
  • Comprehensive knowledge of safeguarding practice and process
  • Excellent decision-making skills
  • Ability to work effectively with multi-agency partners, universal, and specialist services
  • Good team work skills and capacity to work under pressure
