Our client Rotherham metropolitan borough Council is looking for a Social Work Team Manager to join their Children in Care team.
We are seeking a team manager for a Children in Care team. The current postholder is being seconded to another position for a period of 6 months, and we would like cover for that period.
The specific team which is being covered is yet to be agreed (there may be some movement internally) but will be one of three busy social work teams. We work with children from 0-18 years old who are accommodated under S20, care orders or Placed with Parents/kinship arrangements. The social workers in the team could range from 6-8 staff to supervise and caseloads at the moment are around 22.
We rarely work with children who have plans of adoption, unless there has been a long search or there are particularly complex circumstances. We work with a small number of separated children seeking asylum. A focus for us at the moment is rehabilitating children home to the care of parents or relatives where it is safe enough to do so following assessment.
Hybrid working is in place, so the postholder would be expected to work three days in the office and could work from home two days per week. This would be subject to change or more days in the office for short periods if other team managers are on leave or sick, but leave is usually planned and coordinated well in advance. There is a duty system in place where one team manager is duty manager each day - duty managers must be office based on those days. Core hours are 9am-5pm but flexible working is available subject to office cover being agreed with the other team managers.
