Are you a passionate and experienced Qualified Social Worker ready to take the next step in your career? We’re looking for a dynamic Team Manager to lead a dedicated Child Protection, CP Chair & LADO team in West Yorkshire.
This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of children and families while developing your leadership experience within a highly supportive, fast-paced environment.

You’ll work closely with families and multi-agency partners—such as police, education and health professionals—to ensure children are protected and their long-term outcomes are improved. Your focus will be on achieving sustainable change and supporting early intervention.
You’ll also collaborate with Integrated Prevention and Early Help services, ensuring a smooth transition for families who no longer require statutory intervention.

  • Strong knowledge of safeguarding legislation and child development
  • Excellent assessment, planning and review skills
  • Proven ability to engage families and lead teams through complex cases
We value creativity, resilience, and a solution-focused mindset. You’ll need to be confident in managing risk, developing care plans, and using data and evidence to drive better outcomes.
In Return, You’ll Receive:
  • Competitive £40 per hour pay rate
  • Flexible working arrangements where possible
  • Supportive management and access to multi-agency networks
  • Opportunities for personal development and leadership coaching
This role is ideally located for candidates based in or near: Leeds, Manchester, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Halifax, Bradford, Oldham, Rochdale, Sheffield, Doncaster and surrounding areas.
