Tameside require a Service Manager - Service manager/HOS level - to manage the Fostering Services, Placements Team and Adoption Team.
An Interim Service Manager is required to manage, support and supervise our Fostering Service comprising of three Team Managers, the Childrens Placements Team comprising one Team Manager and a keeping in touch role with the Regional Adoption Agency.
The Fostering Team is split into three pods Recruitment & Assessment, Support and Supervision (mainstream) and Connected Persons Foster Carers. There is a half time Panel Advisor post which will be line managed by the Agency Decision Maker in the short term.
The role of the Placements Team is to find placements for children and young people on an emergency and planned basis. The successful applicant will have experience of managing this area of work and understand the pressure that comes with the role, which will require staying on after 5pm when a same day search commenced during office hours is needed.
The Adoption Team is seconded to the Regional Adoption Agency, therefore there is no requirement for line management, rather a light touch check-in with Head of Service holding quarterly meetings with the RAA team allocated to Tameside with the Service Manager Fostering attending.
Min three days a week on site but with a preference for four given the nature of the work.
