Although we are independent, we are very much part of the Reading Family. Our people enjoy all of benefits as other Council employees including membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme and continuous service.\n \nWe work closely with partners in the local community and key organisations including Reading Borough Council, policy, public health and voluntary groups. We are responsible for the delivery of children’s social care, early help & prevention, education services (including SEND). This also includes fostering and adoption, the Youth Offending Service and traded services with schools.\n \nOur main aim is to protect and enhance the lives of the children of Reading. We help families find long-term solutions to ensure children lead happy, healthy and successful lives.\n About the role\nWe currently have a vacancy for an experienced Service Manager to join our Family Help & Safeguarding service. We firmly believe that relationship-based social work makes a real difference to the lives of children, young people and their families, and our generic Together for Families Teams, ASYE Academy Team, and Supporting Families Team all focus on delivering outstanding support to families.\n Our Together for Families (TfF) Teams have been developed in order to allow children and families to benefit from the continuity of having only one social worker, and to form a relationship with that worker that promotes sustained positive change. The benefit for our social workers in this practice model is the ability to form consistent, meaningful relationship with children and their families; the opportunity to learn and to develop new skills whilst working across the journey of the child in statutory social work; to have lower caseloads, and a supportive environment that makes relationship-based social work flourish.\n Our Together for Families teams, and the ASYE Academy Team both work with children during S.17 (Children Act, 1989) single assessments, S.47 child protection investigations, as well as working with children subject to Child In Need Plans, Child Protection Plans, pre-proceedings, proceedings and those becoming looked after.\n Our Supporting Families Team currently provides a range of supportive interventions including supervised contact for Children Looked After; specialist support for parent/carers with substance misuse difficulties via a Consultant Practitioner; providing direct work and parenting interventions for those children subject to CIN and CP Plans and offering group work support for parents/carers who are survivors of domestic abuse. There is also now an exciting development within the Team to introduce a small group of Lead Practitioners to case hold Child in Need (S.17, Children Act 1989) cases, with the support of a social work qualified and experienced Assistant Team Manager.\n As a Service Manager you will be responsible for leading and managing 4 Together for Families Teams, each team comprising a Team Manager and 5 social workers and taking new cases from our Children’s Single Point of Access Team (MASH) on a 9-week duty cycle. You will also manage the ASYE Academy Team, comprising of a Team Manager, 3 Consultant Practitioners and 9 ASYEs.\nYou will provide passionate and inspiring leadership to your Teams, providing regular high quality management oversight, supervision and support. You will ensure that the child’s lived experience is at the very heart of everything that is done. At Brighter Futures for Children, we have a culture of providing high support and high challenge, in the very best interests of children. We are immensely proud to be growing and developing our staff in the Family Help & Safeguarding service and now benefit from having a very stable workforce where over 90% of our staff are permanent, our reliance on agency cover is low, and caseloads are mostly manageable.
