We are looking for a Team Manager to join our dynamic and innovative Regional Adoption Agency to help us make a positive difference to adoptive families, adoptees and birth relatives across our region.

This exciting opportunity requires a minimum commitment of 30 hours per week, where you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of adoption support. You'll co-lead the Adoption Support Team and take full leadership of the Adopted Adults Team, helping to define and drive the direction of both services.

In the Adoption Support Team, you'll contribute to the design and delivery of services that support adoptive families, children, and young people. This includes assessing needs and facilitating access to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund. You will be collaborating with our Training Team and MDT to shape workshops, webinars, and therapeutic parenting offers.

As the manager of the Adopted Adults Team, you will be overseeing both Social Workers and Child and Family Support Workers who are supporting adoptees to access their adoption records and accessing intermediary services. You will need to have an understanding of post and pre-commencement legislation and be open to developing and driving forward national recommendations and improving services for adult adoptees.

We are looking for someone with strong post-qualifying social work experience, ideally with management skills and a solid understanding of child protection legislation. Your empathy, communication skills, and commitment to improving outcomes will be key to making a meaningful impact.
