TEAM MANAGER 16-25 TRANSITIONS SERVICE

Bath & North East Somerset Council is dedicated to improving people’s lives, and we’re building a service designed to do just that for young people aged 14-25. We’re looking for a compassionate and skilled social work leader to join us on this journey.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

In this role, you’ll lead a team focused on promoting independence and empowerment for young people. Your work will directly impact young lives, as you ensure that the voices of youth, their parents, and carers shape service delivery.

As a leader, you’ll support social workers and practitioners across our locality-based teams, helping them provide tailored support through assessments and plans under the Care Act.
