You must be a registered Social Work to apply for this role.
Are you a social work manager or an experienced social worker with good supervisory skills looking for a management position in a busy social work office in Bristol? If you have good management skills and a proven ability in Child Protection and Court Work, we would like to hear from you.
You will join an area service where people are friendly and helpful. In this role you would lead, manage, support, and supervise one of the small teams based together at either Ridingleaze House or Symes House in Bristol. The management teams working in both offices are strong and supportive, with good supervision, peer support and easy access to senior managers.
Each one of the small teams is made up of a Team Manager, three full-time Social Workers, a full-time Family Support Worker, and a full-time administrator. You will manage the five colleagues in the small team and lead the practice. We are office based and do not hot-desk so there is every opportunity to form great relationships with the team and the other managers in the office.
The service works with children in need, children on a child protection plan, family re-unification, and undertakes court work.
The Signs of Safety model is used, and a high priority is placed on working collaboratively with families and professionals to create change for children. Bristol is working hard to embed systemic social work principles in our practice. Our priority is to work with families to keep children living safely within their families.
There are very effective partnerships and relationships with the co-located Family in Focus and YOS services in both the North and South base. A range of good quality training and opportunities for development are available in Bristol.
