Job Description

Team Manager - Family Help, Care & Protection | 9238 | Permanent Contract | 37 hours per week | £50,166 to £54,277 per annum | Grade L | Great Yarmouth

Hi, I am Jenifer Dewar, Assistant Director for Family Help at Norfolk County Council. Norfolk are a 'Good' authority with 'exceptional leadership'. We are proud of our Social Work Teams and value all our practitioners.

This is an exciting time to join our Management Team at Norfolk following the launch of our brand-new operating model. Family Help mirrors some of the ambitions laid out in the National Children's Social Care Review and the Government's response to that, Stable Homes Built on Love (2023), it further amplifies and enhances elements we know have worked for our children, families and practitioners in Norfolk for some time. We are just about to implement this way of working county wide following on from a very successful trial period.

We are looking for a Team Manager who is a qualified Social Worker and registered with Social Work England. You will need experience in Child Protection, Assessments and Court Work, be an excellent team player and share our vision to provide the best possible outcomes for children and families alongside excellent people management skills, knowledge of recruitment, budget management and mentoring skills.

Family Help consists of multi-disciplinary teams working collaboratively to meet the needs of children, and in a culture that prioritises relationships, direct work and extended family networking to affect sustainable change. Our family help teams have 22 practitioners, of which seven or eight are Social Workers. The rest of the team is made up of family support workers, specialist practitioners, assistant managers and team managers. Cases are managed by the whole prevention and protection teams and families receive targeted interventions at a very early stage, improving outcomes for our Children and Families. We have received amazing benefits from this way of working for our Social Workers too including the reduction in intervention times and paperwork.

You will be joining an authority who cares about your wellbeing, who are passionate about flexible working and who develop practitioners, so everyone feels valued and part our Norfolk County Council family.

We particularly encourage applications from underrepresented groups at Norfolk County Council including Black and Global Majority practitioners, and we are committed to equality and diversity within our Family Help teams.
