We have an exciting opportunity for a permanent Deputy Team Manager role. This role would ideally suit an experienced Social Worker who is aware and operating at the level of H2 and who is seeking experience and knowledge to develop in their career pathway.

The role will challenge you in terms of its pace, variety and level of crisis intervention work. It will also require you to manage complex case work while supporting the development of new staff and new ways of working. With the roll out of the integration agenda and the introduction of new practice models you will need to be accepting of change and able to motivate and encourage staff to embrace change.
