We are looking to recruit an effective, resilient, and highly motivated individual to join the East Early Help Management Team to lead, supervise, and manage a diverse and dynamic team of Early Help Children & Family Workers.
Working closely with Practice Supervisors in the East Locality (Scarborough, Whitby, Ryedale), the successful applicant will collaborate with colleagues across the Locality to ensure that all teams are fully supported; there is a particularly close relationship across Children and Families Services, which is facilitated by a “one team” approach.
You will build strong, mutually beneficial relationships with practitioners and managers across Children and Families Services and be committed to strong partnerships with colleagues across Education and Inclusion Services, as well as schools, police and health agencies and community organisations.
Willing to take on a challenge, you will have proven leadership and management skills, strong knowledge, and experience of working across Children Social Care and Early Help and with children, young people and their families using systemic, strengths-based relationship practice strategies. As well as the necessary skills and abilities to effectively manage and develop performance outcomes to a very high standard.
North Yorkshire Children and Families Service has developed a highly effective Practice Model, and you will lead your team to continuously improve their practice in Signs of Safety, Systemic approaches and Family Finding/Seeing; you will be passionate about your own development, and you will participate in service-wide practice development activities as both a learner and a facilitator.
We promote flexible working, including the ability to work remotely from a variety of bases as well as from home, whatever makes sense and is suitable to provide the best service.
