In Barnsley, we are one service, with a vision to work together to improve outcomes for children, and nowhere is that more evident than in our Integrated Front Door (IFD).

As one of three team managers, you will drive high standards, ensuring high-quality and effective triage and screening takes place to reach the right decision at the right time. You will chair MADA, Strategy and other complex meetings and will have a good understanding of threshold application and be confident in your decision making and analysis of risk.  

With a strengths-based approach and commitment to working in partnership with families to build resilience, you will play a key role in planning and improving outcomes for children from the very start of the child’s journey.  

You’ll manage a stable and experienced team of qualified social workers, and will provide high quality reflective supervision, undertake Quality Assurance activity and promote a culture of continuous learning and development.
