- Multi-Agency Integration: Cultivating strong partnerships with health providers, education authorities, and voluntary sectors to deliver seamless, holistic support for families.
Mandatory Candidate Criteria
- Professional Registration: Must be a Qualified Social Worker with a valid, active Social Work England registration.
- Management Experience: Proven experience operating as a Team Manager or Assistant Team Manager within a statutory Children's Services environment.
- Specialist Knowledge: A strong understanding of the Children Act 1989/2004, Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act, and the unique safeguarding vulnerabilities faced by children with disabilities.
- Leadership Attributes: Exceptional communication skills, a budget-conscious mindset, and the ability to motivate and develop a stable, ambitious frontline team.
What Manchester City Council Offers You
- Premium Remuneration: A highly lucrative hourly rate of £46.00 per hour.
- An 'Outstanding' Culture: The opportunity to lead within an Ofsted-rated 'Outstanding' local authority backed by a stable, visionary senior leadership team.
- Modern Hybrid Balance: A flexible working model that balances office-based leadership and community presence with working from home.
