ABOUT US

Oxfordshire County Council is committed to working together to help children, young people and families to thrive. That’s not just something we say, it’s who we are and what we do.
We’ve been consistently rated as “good” by Ofsted, but we are not content with that, we are ambitious and want to do even better! We are now two years into implementation of our new transformational model - Family Solutions Plus (FSP) and are moving into phase two of its implementation.

We’re looking for Assistant Team Managers to support Team Managers with developing and leading our Family Solutions Plus teams.
As an Assistant Team Manager, you’ll help to lead a multi-disciplinary team comprised of specialist adult workers as well as children’s social workers, to tackle parental difficulties as a means of increasing parenting capacity.
As someone with strong communication skills, you’ll build successful working relationships both within your own team and across the service, as well as with other professionals to help shape, develop and deliver services effectively.
You’ll co-ordinate and monitor assessment activity within the team and ensure that practice standards and timescales are always met. Your own standards of practice will be consistently high, and you will work with the child at the centre of all that you do.
You will play a key role in improving practice in the team and you’ll ensure that the quality of assessments and plans in the team are consistently good; you’ll do this by coaching and supervising social work staff, leading team discussions and workshops, and updating the team on practice developments and research.
Please contact Team Manager Amanda Addison or via phone 01865 897797 to discuss.
