Post No. POSN005157 - Assistant Team Manager - Children Services

Newport City Council is seeking to appoint an energetic, driven and self-motivated Assistant Team Manager to join our dedicated Fostering Team.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced social care professional who is passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people. The role has a strong focus on foster carer recruitment, retention and support, ensuring we build a resilient, skilled and valued fostering community.

You will play a key role in delivering high-quality fostering services in line with Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) standards and the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014. You will also contribute to Newport’s commitment to the Welsh Government’s ‘eliminating profit’ agenda, supporting the development of high-quality, sustainable in-house fostering provision and reducing reliance on external placements.

A key aspect of the role will be ensuring effective matching, promoting placement stability, and driving service improvements that enable more children to remain within local authority care arrangements.

Key Responsibilities:

Support the Team Manager in the operational leadership of the Fostering Team
Lead and contribute to recruitment and retention strategies to ensure sufficiency of foster carers
Strengthen and grow Newport’s in-house fostering provision in line with the Welsh Government agenda
Provide high-quality supervision, support and professional guidance to staff
Build strong, supportive relationships with foster carers to promote resilience and retention
Oversee and support matching processes to ensure placements meet the individual needs of children and young people
Promote placement stability and positive outcomes for children
Drive continuous improvement in service delivery in line with CIW standards and inspection frameworks
Ensure all practice reflects the principles of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, including voice, choice and wellbeing
Promote safeguarding, participation and positive outcomes for children and young people

About You:

We are looking for a motivated and solutions-focused professional who brings energy, initiative and strong leadership capability.

You will:

Hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Care Wales
Have significant experience within fostering or children’s services
Demonstrate a strong understanding of CIW requirements and Welsh legislative frameworks
Understand the Welsh Government’s not-for-profit agenda and its implications for fostering and placement sufficiency
Have experience of supporting foster carers and promoting placement stability
Be confident in leading, motivating and developing staff
Possess strong organisational, communication and decision-making skills
Be proactive and driven, with the ability to take ownership and deliver improvement
Be committed to continuous improvement and achieving high standards of care

Our Values:

We are looking for someone who will:

Champion high-quality, child-centred practice
Support and value foster carers as key partners in care
Contribute to building a sustainable, in-house care model for Newport
Lead with integrity, openness and accountability
Promote innovation, learning and continuous improvement
Work collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes for children and young people

If you are ready to take the next step in your career and help us deliver on our ambition to provide more children with stable, high-quality in-house care, we would welcome your application.

Help us shape better futures for children and young people in Newport.

We welcome applications for all our jobs in either Welsh or English. An application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application submitted in English.

Newport City Council is committed to working towards its workforce being more representative of the population that we serve and particularly welcomes applications from people from minority ethnic communities represented (or living) in the city. Selection will be made on ability and skills to undertake the role.

Newport City Council is not currently supporting applicants with sponsorship for right to work. In applying for a vacancy, applicants should already have the right to work in the UK.

Our values – Fairness for all, Making a difference, Being responsible, Working together
Ein gwerthoedd – Tegwch i Bawb, Gwneud Gwahaniaeth, Bod yn Gyfrifol, Gweithio gyda'n gilydd
