Deputy Team Manager - Edge of Care Services (Temporary)

Edge of Care are committed to developing innovative, evidence-based services that work effectively with families experiencing multiple and complex challenges, often linked to social exclusion and high dependency on public services.

Within this exciting and evolving landscape, an opportunity has arisen to join our co-located, multi-agency child and family services as a Deputy Team Manager within our Edge of Care Service. We are seeking a motivated and skilled practitioner with a 'can do' approach, who is passionate about improving outcomes for families and committed to the delivery and development of evidence-based interventions.

This is a key leadership role within our Edge of Care Services where you will have specific operational focus on the Exploitation and Adolescence element of the service, providing leadership, supervision and oversight of specialist staff working with young people at risk of or affected by exploitation, extra-familial harm and complex adolescent safeguarding issues. You will also lead on the design and delivery of evidence-based interventions across the service and directorate, ensuring the service remains innovative, trauma-informed, and family-centred.

We are looking for a highly skilled worker with experience of working with families on the edge of care or within intensive family intervention services. You will be a confident leader and practitioner, able to coach, mentor, and support others, and passionate about relationship-based, trauma-informed, strengths-focused practice. You will bring a drive and commitment to improving sustainable outcomes for families.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an ambitious, innovative service that values creativity and doing things differently. You will work alongside skilled, passionate colleagues in a collaborative, multi-agency environment, and take the opportunity to develop your leadership, coaching, and strategic skills while remaining closely connected to direct practice.

If you are attracted by this opportunity to help shape the future of Edge of Care Services and make a real difference to children and families, we would love to hear from you.
