£48,474 - £50,512
To apply for this job you must be an employee of Kirklees Council for the duration of the recruitment process – up to and including the start date - and have successfully completed your probationary period. Please note that if you work for an Academy you are not an employee of the Council.
As a Team Manager you will lead and develop the Fostering Recruitment Team to contribute to the Council’s priority to increase the number of Kirklees foster carers whilst recognising that service provision and positive outcomes for children is central to the job. You will drive the recruitment and marketing strategy and support the team to meet performance targets and complete assessments of potential carers. You will join the Fostering Service and work alongside a dedicated, enthusiastic, motivated and supportive management team and workforce.
You will require:
- A Social Work England recognised qualification and SWE registration.
- Substantial post-qualifying experience in a relevant setting.
- Experience at a managerial level and the ability to demonstrate staff supervision, budget and resource management.
- Detailed understanding of relevant legislation, guidance, government agendas and the implications for practice.
- Commitment to further develop management competencies through continuous professional development.
Travel is an essential part of this role and therefore it would be extremely difficult for you to do your job effectively if you did not use a car for all or most of the time. It is essential that you hold a full and valid driving licence and it is expected that you will use either your own car or a Council vehicle (exceptions may be made for disabled applicants).
If you have any questions about the role please contact Anna Gledhill (Service Manager) at Anna.Gledhill@kirklees.gov.uk
