Ceredigion Council has a strong track record in ensuring we support our Care Leavers, we have a strong team of Personal Advisors and Social Worker that work hard to support those young people into adulthood. The transition from children services to independent adults is an important step for those children leaving care.

The Team manager will lead the team advocating for young people and supporting the staff to deliver the service.

The Team Manager must work creatively and collaboratively to achieve the highest possible standards of performance in Ceredigion County Council's Through Age and Wellbeing model of service delivery. This role reports to our Corporate Managers and works with other Team Managers in ensuring that teams are managed consistently to meet corporate and service objectives and that these are effectively co-ordinated and implemented across the Service's areas of operation.
