The job itself


East Riding County Council are currently looking to recruit an enthusiastic and dynamic Team Manager to join our newly restructured Fostering Service.


The service is experiencing a period of growth and as one of 3 Fostering Team Leaders, you will be expected to supervise and oversee a busy team of social workers with the objective of providing an effective, high quality service to foster carers, children and partners.


Our Fostering Team Managers have a key role in supporting the Area Manager in the continuous development of the service and may be given responsibility for specialist service areas and the delivery of key service targets and objectives.

We are strongly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS disclosure and a range of other recruitment checks.


Our model

'You can, I can, We can'


We have created a bespoke practice model that reflects and connects our vision, our value base and our behaviour as one East Riding of Yorkshire approach to working with children, young people and their families, which is nurtured and grown from within East Riding of Yorkshire CYPSSS and owned by our workforce.


We remain committed to Signs of Safety as a practice framework, but this will be set within a much wider, values based, model of practice that clearly connects Signs of Safety much more clearly with the East Riding value base, and our overall approach to making and sustaining relationships with children, families, and communities.


Without a well embedded model, there is nothing to centre our practice on to ensure that, while the work may be different, all our teams are grounded in the same values, beliefs, theories and approaches.

Having a well-developed practice model helps to create a common language for the service and enables everyone to understand how we go about doing the right things, in the right way and for the right reasons for children and their families.

We are a small team and positive relationships are valued.

You will also be working with agencies across the East Riding of Yorkshire footprint so it is essential that the post holder is able to work effectively with others with a flexible and adaptable approach in a relational based approach - always demonstrating their commitment to working to the highest possible standards whilst remaining at all times child centred.
