Service Manager

Job Title and Location

Service Manager – London Grays Inn Road (hybrid, flexible working).

We trust and empower colleagues to work in a hybrid way, providing the resources, equipment, and support so that individually and collectively we can be the voice of children and young people when the family court makes critical decisions about their futures. Although the role is part of a team based from our office in London Grays Inn Road, proximity to the office does not have to be a critical consideration.

We are a diverse, inclusive organisation that is a safe space for colleagues with shared aspects of identity and lived experience, helping us to promote the diversity and uniqueness of children and families from all backgrounds. We especially welcome applications from people from diverse backgrounds to reflect the workforce diversity of the children and families we serve.

We provide extensive wellbeing support for colleagues and excellent benefits, all of which we hope encourages you to join us.

Being a Service Manager is very rewarding but challenging. As well as being registered with Social Work England, you will be organized, resilient, empathetic, supportive, and able to work independently.
