How You'll Make a Difference

At South Gloucestershire Council we are immensely proud of the skills, abilities, and compassion of all our social workers and wider team members. As a Team Manager, you will provide essential support, recognition, guidance, and professional oversight to team members.

What You Will Be Doing

• Regularly, you will support our social workers to build relationships, undertake assessments, develop plans, and deliver purposeful evidence‑based interventions to secure the best outcomes for children in need of support, protection and care.
• You will be an adaptive and responsive manager, combining a hybrid model of remote and office‑based working with face‑to‑face management where essential and secure to meet team and wider service objectives.
• Maintaining a focus on the individuals in your team, you will promote personal and professional development through the pathways and programmes offered by our wider Children’s Services division.
• You will have the support, guidance and supervision of an experienced and accessible Senior Leadership Team.

What We Need From You

• Professional qualification, e.g. MA or BA in social work, DipSW and a current registration with Social Work England.
• Extensive knowledge in a relevant setting such as Adult Social Care, and demonstrable comprehension of the Mental Capacity Act, Best Interest Assessments, or similar relevant experience.
• Experience of managing staff or supervision of other professionals.
• Experience of developing and motivating a team to fulfil the changing demands of the service.
• Evidence of leading teams to achieve optimum performance in delivering excellent social care services for children.
• Evidence of ongoing continuous professional development and thorough knowledge of current legislation and practice relating to your service.

What You Need To Know

• Due to the nature of this role it is a requirement of employment that an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (child and adult) is obtained.
• You will be required to travel widely within the authority, so you must either have a full, valid driving licence with regular access to a vehicle or have an alternative means of travel.
• Business Insurance will need to be added to your current car insurance policy.

Interviews are anticipated to take place week commencing 19th January 2026.

How a Career at South Gloucestershire Council is Different

• We invest in the careers of our people and are recognised for the quality, breadth and depth of our training and development offer, which helps our people make the greatest long‑term difference in their work.
• As part of our benefits package, you will receive generous annual leave (pro rata), employee wellbeing support and you will have access to a range of staff discounts, including eye tests, travel, shopping and leisure activities.
• We recognise that our diverse team of skilled and dedicated people make us a great place to work. We welcome applications from everyone and ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and developed on the basis of their merits and abilities.
