Interim Team Manager Children with Disabilities

Interim Team Manager - Children with Disabilities

Somerset

Pay rate up to £44 per hour Umbrella company

Somerset Council are looking for a Team Manager to support a dynamic and committed team of Social Workers within the Children with Disabilities Team. Within you role you will be responsible for supporting a team of 6 Social Workers ranging from ASYEs to Advanced Practitioners. We know that many of you will not have considered working for Children with Disabilities (CWD) before, thinking you may not have the right skills, knowledge or experience. Others may think the work is mundane or less dynamic than other areas of social work, they're wrong! For a start, the work itself is fascinating, varied and rewarding. Here’s what one of our team had to say about it: “Even if looked for a job elsewhere, it would still be CWD. I love the complexity. You have to work harder to understand what is happening for children, you have to be more creative and 'think outside the box' to get the best outcomes for children with additional needs." The Children with Disabilities Team covers all elements of Social Work and therefore whilst experience within CWD is desirable, it is not essential. There is a stable management team who will help you have all the information you need.

To apply for this role, you will need to hold -

• A minimum of 6 months experience of working in the UK as a registered social worker
• A relevant Social Work Qualification
• Registration with Social Care Wales / Social Work England
• Enhanced DBS, registered on the update service or be happy to apply for a DBS
• 3 Years of referencing 
• Driving license with access to a car

Benefits of working for Hoop:

• 20 years’ experience of the Social Work market

• Actively supplying every Local Authority in South/West Wales and South West England
• Free on-site quarterly training sessions (Contributing towards CPD)
• Refer a friend scheme available
• Loyalty Bonus to QSW's
• Wellbeing sessions

Given the nature of the role, only applications from individuals with a social work qualification and registration with either professional body - Social Care Wales / Social Work England can be considered. No sponsorship provided. Please only apply if you meet this criteria.
