Your new role

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council are recruiting for a Team Lead to manage a team of 6 Family Support Workers within the early intervention team. The role will be part of the Family Support Service, which intervenes as early and as effectively as possible to address those issues that are preventing successful outcomes for children and young people and, as a result, will reduce the number of children and families that require expensive specialist services.

Your role as Team Leader will be to process and screen assessments, allocating cases to either your team or passing cases on to the correct workflows.

What you'll need to succeed

To be successful, you will need a minimum of a level 3 qualification in an area relevant to children, young people and families and have a minimum of 6 months management experience. You must have significant experience of working with children, families and carers and have a sound knowledge and awareness of current policies and practices. Whilst you won't be managing your own caseload, you will be working across different sites and therefore, access to a car with business insurance is essential.

What you'll get in return

You will be paid a competitive hourly rate and have a guaranteed long-term, full-time role until March 2026, with further opportunities for permanent opportunities. As a Hays contractor, you will have a dedicated consultant who will support you throughout the recruitment process as well as whilst you are at work. You will be given access to our training platform, where you can assign yourself to free online training to enhance your own skills.
