Job Introduction

Ready to lead and shape practice at the front door of children’s services?

We’re looking for an experienced, strategic and passionate Service Manager to lead our Assessment Service at Dudley Children’s Services. This is a pivotal leadership role where you will oversee multiple teams at the front door, ensuring consistency, quality of practice, and strong decision-making for children and families at the earliest point of contact. You will play a key role in setting the direction of the service, driving improvement, and ensuring children receive the right help at the right time.

Reporting to the Principal Service Lead, you will work as part of a strong leadership team to support delivery, manage demand and embed high-quality, child-centred practice across all assessment teams.

If you are a confident leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is committed to making a meaningful difference—this could be the role for you.

As Service Manager, you will:

Provide leadership and oversight to Team Managers across the Assessment Service
Work closely with the Service Managers and Principal Service Leads in Family Help to manage demand across areas
Drive consistency of practice, performance, and decision-making across all teams
Ensure the delivery of timely, high-quality assessments that are analytical and outcome-focused
Maintain oversight of risk, thresholds and safeguarding decisions at the front door
Lead on service development and continuous improvement, embedding best practice across teams
Manage service demand and performance, ensuring resources are used effectively
Support and develop Team Managers to deliver strong leadership and high standards of practice
Work closely with partners to ensure a coordinated, multi-agency approach
Contribute to strategic planning and service direction alongside the Principal Service Lead

About you

You’re someone who:

Is a qualified and highly experienced social worker, with substantial leadership experience in management in children’s services
Has a strong understanding of front door services, thresholds, and assessment practice
Brings experience of leading managers and driving service-wide improvements
Is confident making complex decisions in high-pressure environments
Has a track record of improving performance, quality and outcomes for children
Is a strong communicator, able to influence, challenge and support at all levels
Is committed to delivering consistent, high-quality, child-centred practice across services

Why join Dudley?

At Dudley Children’s Services, we are committed to innovation, continuous improvement, and putting children first.

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to:

Lead a critical front-line service, shaping practice at the earliest stage of a child’s journey
Drive consistency and excellence across multiple teams
Work as part of a supportive and ambitious senior leadership team
Influence service-wide improvement and strategic direction
Benefit from hybrid working, with an expectation of 3 in-person office-based days per week

This is your opportunity to lead at scale—shaping how Dudley responds to children and families at first contact, driving consistent, high-quality practice, and ensuring the right decisions are made at the right time.

If you’re ready to lead with impact, influence practice at scale, and drive meaningful change—we’d love to hear from you.
