Team Manager

You will lead the day-to-day work of a team, creating a supportive environment where staff can exercise sound professional judgement and deliver high standards.

Working with colleagues across the Front Door and wider services, you will support clear handovers, effective prioritisation and timely responses to changing needs and risks.

Key responsibilities:

• Manage workloads, supervision, staff development and performance, promoting reflective and strengths-based practice.
• Ensure assessments, care management and reviews within the team’s remit meet statutory requirements and agreed standards.
• Provide oversight of complex decisions and risk, ensuring safeguarding concerns are addressed through the appropriate pathways.
• Ensure carers are involved and their assessment and support needs receive appropriate priority.
• Monitor delegated staffing, operational and care purchasing budgets, maintaining accurate records and using performance information and complaints learning to improve practice.

You will join a passionate and collaborative Adult Social Care service committed to delivering innovative, strengths-based support that enables residents to live independently and safely.

The team works in partnership with health professionals, community organisations and carers to provide seamless support across a range of adult social care pathways.

As a Team Manager, you will have the opportunity to develop and motivate a skilled workforce while helping to shape and improve services for local residents.

You will be a qualified social worker with current Social Work England registration and significant experience of adult services, including within a local authority.

You will bring experience of complex decision-making, risk management and working within a statutory framework, alongside evidence of supporting, supervising or inducting others.

We are looking for someone who can motivate a team, manage competing priorities and build constructive relationships with residents, carers and professionals.

A clear understanding of care management, relevant legislation and anti-discriminatory practice is essential.

A management qualification or equivalent is desirable.

If you enjoy developing people and improving practice in a fast-paced service, this is an opportunity to make a visible difference.
