To help us recruit social workers who are committed to working in Middlesbrough we are currently offering a 15% supplement to social work salaries. This additional 15% will be reviewed at the end of October 2023.
Middlesbrough: the place to live, work and visit! A diverse, and lively town, proud of its heritage and ambitious to shape its future. Home of the famous “Parmo” and proud owners of the “Transporter Bridge.”
Children’s Services in Middlesbrough have been working hard to improve over the last few years and we have steady improvements as evidenced in our regular Ofsted monitoring visits.
We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and dynamic Team Manager to join our Multi-Agency Children’s Hub. You will work as part of a dynamic Multi-Agency Integrated Team assessing notifications and referrals regarding children aged 0 - 18. The Team is co-located with Cleveland Police, HDFT 0-19, IDVA, Early Help, Education and Housing, alongside other key stakeholders.
We are a fast paced but driven team! In May 2021 Ofsted stated “The multi-agency children’s hub (MACH) has continued to strengthen and build on the improvements that had been identified at the monitoring visit in August 2020. Children’s risks and needs are identified through a thorough screening process that is timely and proportionate. When risks to children increase, strategy meetings in the MACH are well attended. The meetings consider information from all partner agencies, who jointly rate the risk to children to support appropriate decision-making about next steps.
The MACH is a fast-paced environment so we will need you to be able to think on your feet, as well as be able to pause and make well considered, evidence-based decisions, which manage risks for our children of Middlesbrough.
Why work for Middlesbrough?
No two days really are ever the same, much as no two children or families are the same! Are you up for the challenge?
Are you passionate, tenacious and solution focused? Are children and families at the Heart of what you do and do you really want to make an impact in children’s lives?
If this is you, we would love you to join us and make a difference – supporting our families by wrapping around them when they need your help, stepping up and being there when things get tough and making a difference to our Middlesbrough Children.
In return, we will provide you with a competitive salary, a comprehensive training offer and an excellent benefits package. We are really pleased to be able to add to our adverts our new 15% market supplement, on top of your monthly pay, with no contracted obligations and we feel this will help recruit the kind of first line leaders we want on board. We are a considerate employer that recognises that many Social Workers are working parents or have caring responsibilities and we work to be hybrid and flexible, so that you can do both jobs those well, with our support.
Alongside the vast range of benefits, managers in Middlesbrough will also have a managed caseload with strong peer and management support and regular supervision from your Service Manager.
We are passionate about getting it right for our staff, as we are for our children, and we have realistic and colourful Practice Standards that bring this to life. We want for the children of Middlesbrough, as we would want for our own children at home. Middlesbrough are fully committed to a developed improvement plan and are pleased to be working with our children, young people and their families, our employees and partner agencies to transform our social work practices and make a difference to the lives of the families and young people of Middlesbrough.
Based in the centre of Middlesbrough, you can benefit from free parking, flexible working including work from home with varying patterns, giving greater work life balance to our practitioners. We do ask that 1 day in 5 is office based.
