How You'll Make a Difference
South Gloucestershire’s children’s social care service is rated Good by Ofsted, and we are committed to maintaining and building on this strong foundation. As HOTH Intervention Team Manager, you will provide senior practice leadership for a specialist intervention team supporting children and young people aged 11-18 who are experiencing, or are at risk from, harm outside the home.
You will lead a team delivering specialist interventions, consultation, mapping and community-based responses to contextual safeguarding concerns, including criminal and sexual exploitation, peer-on-peer harm, serious youth violence and online harm. Through your leadership, you will help ensure risks are identified, understood and responded to through contextual safeguarding, trauma-informed and child-centred approaches.
What You Will Be Doing
- Lead and manage Senior HOTH Support Workers and HOTH Support Workers, providing line management, reflective supervision, performance oversight and specialist practice guidance.
- Oversee time-limited interventions, provide consultation and formulation support, contribute to workforce upskilling and work closely with partners to reduce risk outside the home and prevent escalation wherever possible.
- Coordinate specialist activity across the team, including consultation, mapping, group work and preventative responses to emerging contextual safeguarding themes.
- Work with partners such as schools, police, the Violence Reduction Partnership and the Risk Tactical Group to strengthen local responses to risks outside the home.
- Support workforce development by sharing learning, delivering training and helping practitioners apply contextual safeguarding and trauma-informed approaches.
- Monitor quality, performance, outcomes and resource use so children and young people receive timely, safe and effective intervention.
