This is an exciting and rewarding role with a local authority, working in a Referral and Assessment team dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. As an Assistant Team Manager, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day direction and coordination of staff, providing increased managerial oversight on cases to ensure allocations and statutory assessments are both timely and proportionate to identified risks.

We’re looking for an experienced social worker with a passion for helping vulnerable children. You should have a good working knowledge of relevant legislation and be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of safeguarding policies and procedures. A qualification in social work is essential, as is a valid Social Work England registration.

Why use Sheldon Phillips to find your next role? It's simple really - we aren't pushy or too needy.....we know that what you want is to be listened to! You want an agency that will proactively look for what you want to do, rather than us focussing on the roles that will benefit us financially.

That's why we have been so successful, because this is YOUR job search, not ours.
