We are currently seeking two experienced Assistant Team Managers to join a Children's Services team.

Do not apply unless you hold a Social Work qualification and have 3 years post-qualified permanent Children's Social Work experience working for a local authority.

About the Roles

We have two county-wide Assistant Team Manager opportunities available:

Children & Young People's Disability Team (CYPDT) ATM
This role provides management oversight within the Children and Young People's Disability Team, supporting safe service delivery during a period of reduced permanent capacity. You will help strengthen operational stability, provide supervision and maintain high practice standards across the team.

Peripatetic Assistant Team Manager
This flexible county-wide role provides responsive management support across Children's Services teams experiencing capacity gaps. You will be deployed where needed most, strengthening oversight, improving resilience and supporting consistent frontline practice.

Both roles offer a hybrid working model, with 50% of admin time able to be completed remotely and approximately 1 office day per week, depending on service need.

About You

The ideal candidate will hold a recognised Social Work qualification (Degree, DipSW, CQSW or equivalent), be registered with Social Work England, and have previous management or senior practitioner experience within Children's Services.

Strong experience in safeguarding, staff supervision, operational oversight and statutory practice is essential.
