The report highlights how strong assessments in Surrey consider children's histories and involve social workers spending time alone with children to understand their experiences." Our strong training and development offer in Surrey "helps to equip staff with the understanding, knowledge and skills that they need to practice in a kind, sensitive, motivational and respectful way and that staff feel highly valued, are proud to work for children's services." You can read the full report HERE. About the Role Our Duty Team Manager is responsible for managing the contacts coming into the North East Assessment Team via both the Multi Agency Partnership (MAP) and the Request For Support (RFS) and ensuring these are allocated and managed in line with Surrey thresholds, policies and procedures. You will delegate contacts to duty social workers and will be responsible for the allocation of children to social workers across the assessment service, and where necessary lead on the identification of children who are at risk of immediate harm, facilitating strategy discussions in line with agreed processes to ensure a timely response to any safeguarding concerns. You will also work closely with the other Team Managers as part of the management team within the North East Assessment service and will be expected to provide cover to other Team Managers as and when required to ensure cover across the service and ensuring the monthly rota for the duty social workers is covered. About working in Assessment The first contact any family or professional has with our assessment service sets the tone for our entire working relationship with them. Our practice across the whole service is based upon consent, strong relationships with families and with partners who are also supporting our families. Using motivational approaches the assessment social worker engages with both the family and the network supporting them to understand the presenting worries and work out whether a statutory social work service is required. If not, a plan to support the family at a lower level of need will be put in place to meet the need of the child and family. One Voice In Surrey, you will have a sense of belonging within your individual team but also the wider service areas and directorate. You will receive high quality supervision, as there is a firm commitment towards dedicating time that focusses on the work you do with children and families, to enable you to work creatively and holistically in providing support and protection to children whilst also paying attention to your wellbeing and career development.
