Service Manager for the Child Protection Conferencing Service x 1
You will be responsible for the team of Child Protection Chairs, facilitating multi-agency understanding of the risk of harm to children and contributions to reducing the risk of harm. The role involves the scrutiny and quality assurance of multi-agency practice in helping and protecting children, providing feedback to practitioners and their managers, and reporting to senior managers.
This position will be subject to an enhanced criminal record disclosure check.
Cornwall is currently negotiating devolution and as part of the deal we are actively integrating community health and social care services as the basis for improving lives.
Cornwall Council is committed to safeguarding and is an equal opportunities employer.
We welcome applications from qualified and registered social workers, who are fully committed to Cornwall, who support the Munro reforms, who work actively to the service statement of mission and values, who have a proven track record of supporting and managing practitioners, who can demonstrate they are able to improve the quality and consistency of practice, who are able to develop and sustain good partnership working, and who share our ambition to 'Push on to Outstanding'.
You will be given time and support to develop into these roles, along with appropriate training opportunities. You will also be offered mentoring or coaching in order to make the significant transition involved in 'managing through managers'.
These Service Manager roles are graded M and there is a core role profile setting out the required competencies, span of control and accountability.
