About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.
Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.
About The Role
We are looking for an experienced and motivated Team Manager to lead a dedicated Adult Social Care team, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, person-centred services for adults and carers. In this role you will oversee assessment, care management, reviews, safeguarding and service delivery, ensuring compliance with the Care Act 2014 and relevant statutory frameworks. You will manage team performance, caseloads, budgets and service outcomes while driving continuous improvement and promoting strengths-based practice across the service.
