Committed to helping children and young people? Us too, come and help us build something special in Wakefield
As one of three Locality Service Managers you will be responsible for approximately five locality teams, which are based in our community hubs, in either the east or west of the district.
You will oversee the work of the team which includes supporting Children in Need, care proceedings and care planning. You will ensure that your teams effectively draw upon the resources in the community hubs to provide range of early intervention and support services.
If you are as passionate about helping children and young people achieve their potential as we are, this could be the perfect job for you.
Thriving children in thriving families need exceptional people to support them. In Wakefield we’ve been working hard to make the changes that create a strong and sustainable social work service filled with confident, competent practitioners empowered to make a difference.
Our approach is beyond partnership and collaboration, we have real connection with our partners, who are just as committed and energetic about making the necessary changes as we are. The Wakefield Families Together clusters give a truly shared responsibility for success, and a passion and energy from everyone involved, right from the most senior people in the organisations all the way to frontline practitioners.
But we’re still on our journey and we’re looking for people who are up for the challenge. As a Service Manager you’ll be instrumental in shaping the development for your area. We need people who can lead from the front and promote our vision and practice model.
A move to Wakefield might be the smartest one you make if you want your next role to include all of the challenges and rewards that rapid improvement brings. In return for you bringing your passion, expertise and drive, we offer:
