There’s a real momentum at West Sussex County Council. We’re focused on creating more positive outcomes for children and their families and we have the optimism and enthusiasm to achieve it. We’ve already redesigned our service, transforming both our systems and the way we work. We’ve been inspired as one of only ten authorities involved in the Signs of Safety England Innovations Project. Join us as an experienced social work manager, and you’ll be empowered. With a senior leadership team backing you up, you’ll be in an environment in which you can focus on developing your staff and achieving great outcomes for children. Ready to share your great ideas, great practice and great outcomes, you will provide confident and ambitious leadership which will inspire and motivate staff. You will be confident in risk management and decision making and demonstrate a commitment to work collaboratively within a whole system that focuses on quality practice and outcomes for children. We currently have vacancies for Group Managers in the following specialist areas:

• Children’s Access Point and Emergency Duty Team, full time based in Horsham
• Family Support and Protection, full time based in Horsham
