We want experienced social workers to come and join us on this journey as we create more and smaller teams.

We understand that experienced Social Workers have a lot of choice in where they go to work and we would like you to take a closer look at what we have to offer and what we want to achieve.

Town Clerk & Responsible Financial Officer Salary: £39,298 - £42,503 / Full-time An exciting opportunity to take a senior role with an established town council in the historic market town of Cockermouth in Cumbria.

We are looking for a well organised and committed successor to our highly effective town clerk who is retiring after 14 years in post.

The successful applicant will lead the day-to-day management of the town council’s services, events, staff, facilities, and finances.

Our new clerk will be community-minded, flexible, and enthusiastic about building on the council’s achievements.

We are looking for social workers with experience in statutory children’s social work to join a Children and Families Social Care Team working with children who have either a child in need plan or a child protection plan including those who may be involved in Court proceedings.

We offer excellent nationally based terms and conditions of employment.

We don’t have any limits or quotas dictating how many of the most experienced social workers we can have in Stockton, our progression decisions are based on merit and capability, in line with our progression policy. So in the spirit of this, we are really eager to recruit some exceptional social workers who are either working at our Senior Social Worker or Principal Practitioner levels or those who have the potential to work at these levels.

Occasional evening and weekend work is required. Flexitime and some homeworking are negotiable.

A market forces supplement of 15% salary (paid on a monthly basis) currently applies to this post (grade K – M). Market Forces supplements are subject to review.

We understand that money is not everything and social workers want time to spend with the children and families they work with.

To help achieve this, we’ve made our Children and Families Social Care Teams smaller with six social workers in each but we’re also creating more teams. The aim is to have manageable workloads and when we recruit to all of our new posts.

Headteacher Salary: L9 - L12: £53,973 - £58,105 Required to start January 2024.

We are a Local Authority maintained through school, ages 4-16, with a Pupil Referral Unit designation which is one of just many things that makes us very different. However, we are a school and therefore we are governed by the usual education systems and process including Ofsted inspections.

This is a good school, and a unique school supported by a committed group of active Managers. We teach a wide variety of young people: some young people who are among the most able and articulate in the country, and some with the most profound and multiple learning difficulties. We teach some young people who are at the beginning of their school careers and, sadly, some who are near the end of their lives. We provide education across 2 hospital sites, an outreach centre as well as in young people’s homes across Devon, except for Torbay and Plymouth. I cannot imagine that any staff faces a greater variety of challenges, but I believe the rewards are also greater in proportion.

The contribution of our previous Head to our success has been crucial, and she may be regarded as one of our outstanding assets. We are looking to appoint someone who is capable of building on her achievements and leading our staff to deliver excellent education to our young people.

BURNLEY STONEYHOLME NURSERY SCHOOL Adolescent Support Unit Manager

CWD Unit Manager

Salary: £41,496‐£45,495‐(pay award pending) | + Generous Holidays + Other Benefits & Perks

Salary: £41,496‐£46,549 Per annum | Permanent, Full Time, 37 hours per week | Residential Services | Burnley

Lancashire County Council currently operates a highly successful family support service designed to enable children to remain out of care and safe at home. The service is being further expanded and we are opening a center located in the east of Lancashire. We are looking for a creative and dedicated manager who has experience of delivering residential care.

Due to retirement, we seek a home manager to lead an exemplary long‐standing team at a new multimillion‐pound purpose‐built facility.

Located in an area of outstanding scenery, close to Great Harwood.

The home boasts its own private grounds and equipment with the latest facilities both indoors and outside.

The adolescent support unit will be a district hub for the application of bespoke packages of care for children and their families. The unit will also operate as an overnight breaks home where children can stay as part of a planned intervention. This is so that children can learn independence and self‐care skills as well as having a positive life experience. Through the week the unit is used to support the community offering parenting classes and further experiences for children.

The role is the perfect opportunity for an existing manager or aspiring home manager to lead an established and high‐performing team, providing short breaks to children who have different abilities.

The role of an ASU manager is wide reaching and covers many of the aspects of caring for children in a residential setting as well as providing bespoke child centered support in their family home. Every child referred for a package of care will be unique and the solutions to helping a family through crisis will require the manager to be forward thinking, flexible and knowledgeable with a hands and heart approach.

Every child deserves someone who thinks the world of them, we are looking for the right person to join our extensive network of home managers and be this person to children across Lancashire.

The right candidate will have experience of working in a children's home in a management capacity and be able to achieve registered manager status with Ofsted under the Childrens Home Regulation 2015.

A successful candidate must demonstrate an ability to build effective working relationships with young people, lead a team, have a strong worth ethic, communication skills and record keeping.

Whilst demanding the role is highly rewarding. As a successful ASU is already in operation, a peer mentor is available and robust line management support to work with the successful candidate.

Two Assistant Managers will also work at the ASU to support the manager in the delivery and management of the ASU team.

As the role of an ASU manager is different from similar positions such as a residential children's home manager or day center manager, we expect that there will be aspects that candidates may wish to enquire about and seek clarification on.

Note: Pay award is pending.
