Progress Your Career. Stay in Practice. Lead Without Leaving What You Love. A rare opportunity for genuine career progression without moving into management - our Principal Social Worker role offers a Team Manager salary while keeping you at the heart of direct practice. The Service and Team Cornwall isn't just a fantastic place to live - it's an inspiring place to grow your social work career. Fresh from our 'Good with Outstanding features' Ofsted judgement (July 2024), we're a service on the rise: ambitious, bold and focused on delivering real impact for children and families. Our transformed Family Help model brings together the best of Early Help and Child in Need practice, codesigned with practitioners to deliver more effective, truly child centred support. We're investing where it counts: our specialist Parent Assess team delivers high quality inhouse assessments, and every Family Help Team is strengthened by an Integrated Family Domestic Abuse Support Advisor and dedicated clinical psychology input, ensuring a confident response to domestic abuse and complex needs. We champion meaningful family participation through Family Group Conferencing, Family Led Meetings and consistent use of genograms and ecomaps. Families also benefit from our award winning Family Information Service, a strengthened parenting offer and one of the best care leaver services in the country.

Fresh from our 'Good with Outstanding features' Ofsted judgement (July 2024), we're a service on the rise: ambitious, bold and focused on delivering real impact for children and families. Our transformed Family Help model brings together the best of Early Help and Child in Need practice, codesigned with practitioners to deliver more effective, truly child centred support. We're investing where it counts: our specialist Parent Assess team delivers high quality inhouse assessments, and every Family Help Team is strengthened by an Integrated Family Domestic Abuse Support Advisor and dedicated clinical psychology input, ensuring a confident response to domestic abuse and complex needs. We champion meaningful family participation through Family Group Conferencing, Family Led Meetings and consistent use of genograms and ecomaps. Families also benefit from our award winning Family Information Service, a strengthened parenting offer and one of the best care leaver services in the country. Ofsted recognised the strength of our culture and approach: "Senior leaders and politicians are relentless in their drive to continue to improve the lives of Cornwall's children and families Staff's care, commitment and child focused approach shine through." - Ofsted, July 2024. Cornwall offers forward thinking social work in a place where wellbeing comes first. With stunning coastlines, strong communities and a culture that values balance and professional pride, this is a service where practitioners thrive - and where your leadership will shape the future of children's services.

Our Principal Social Worker role changes that. This is a specialist practice leadership position, paid at Team Manager level, designed for experienced practitioners who want to influence practice quality while staying close to children, families and frontline work. As a Principal Social Worker, you will hold a small caseload of direct work, deputise for your Team Manager, and play a key role in developing the skills, confidence and professional curiosity of your team. You'll be supported by a comprehensive core learning offer and a clear qualification and career pathway, giving you the structure and space to continue developing your expertise. We value continuous learning and recognise its impact on outcomes - with progression and rewards that reflect your contribution.

This role requires someone who can build from the ground up establishing the change management standards, tools, and frameworks that will underpin TDS delivery for years to come - while simultaneously managing an in flight portfolio of initiatives from day one. You will need to be as comfortable chairing our Change Advisory Board (CAB) and influencing senior stakeholders as you are coaching a change agent or product manager through the change process for the first time. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Define, implement, and continuously improve a structured change management methodology aligned to an industry recognised framework (e.g. Prosci/ADKAR, Kotter, or equivalent), building a repeatable, scalable approach that can grow with the team. Develop and maintain the organisation's change management standards, templates, and playbooks for digital initiative rollouts. Assess the change impact and organisational readiness for each initiative, tailoring the approach to the scale, risk, and complexity of each rollout. Ensure change management activities are fully embedded within the agile delivery framework, integrated from project inception through to post launch adoption rather than treated as a downstream activity. Ensure that all change initiatives are clearly positioned within the broader Group strategy, reinforcing organisational priorities and helping employees understand the strategic rationale behind digital transformation efforts. Build the change management capability of the TDS team and wider business, creating shared language and consistent practices. Define how change management success is measured, ensuring all metrics and outcomes are aligned to the organisation's existing benefits realisation framework, and incorporating employee engagement, sentiment, and change readiness indicators in collaboration with Communications and People teams. Change Advisory Board (CAB) Co Chair the CAB, owning the agenda, process, and rigour of change request reviews across the TDS portfolio. Ensure that change requests are assessed consistently, with appropriate stakeholder representation and clear decision making on approval, deferral, or rejection. Coach both change agents and product managers on the CAB process, building understanding and confidence in how to prepare, present, and respond to change requests effectively. Continuously improve the CAB process to keep pace with the volume and complexity of digital change across the organisation. Digital Initiative Delivery Partner with Product Managers and the PMO to embed change management activities into the agile delivery lifecycle from inception through to post launch adoption. Develop and execute change plans for concurrent digital rollouts, managing competing priorities and timelines across the TDS portfolio. Track adoption and benefits realisation against agreed metrics, providing clear and regular reporting to senior stakeholders in line with the organisation's benefits realisation framework. Lead post implementation reviews to capture lessons learned and continuously improve the change approach. Change Agent Network Identify, engage, and develop a network of change agents across the business to act as champions for digital initiatives within their teams. Coach change agents on change management principles and practice, equipping them with the tools, messaging, and confidence they need to drive adoption locally. Maintain strong, trust based relationships with change agents, acting as their primary point of contact and escalation route throughout each rollout. Stakeholder Engagement & Internal Communications Map and manage stakeholder groups across each initiative, developing targeted engagement strategies based on impact and influence. Work in partnership with the Communications & Branding team to develop and coordinate internal communications, ensuring messaging aligns with the Group's strategic narrative, is fully on brand, clear, timely, and tailored to the audience, in line with established communications governance and approval processes. All internal communications will be developed in partnership with the Communications & Branding team, who retain ownership of tone of voice, messaging standards, brand alignment, and channel governance. Facilitate workshops, roadshows, and briefing sessions to build awareness and desire for change across affected teams. Provide coaching and support to senior leaders to help them fulfil their role as visible and effective change sponsors, establishing clear expectations and accountability for active leadership throughout each initiative lifecycle. Training & Enablement Identify training needs arising from digital rollouts and coordinate the development and delivery of appropriate learning interventions. Ensure end users are fully equipped to adopt new tools, processes, and ways of working before go live. Develop self service enablement resources to support ongoing adoption beyond the initial rollout period. Risk & Resistance Management Proactively identify resistance to change and develop targeted mitigation strategies to address it. Escalate material change risks to the Head of Product & PMO and relevant project sponsors, with recommended actions. Monitor adoption and usage data post launch, identifying areas where additional support or intervention is needed. SKILLS & COMPETENCIES Deep expertise in at least one industry recognised change management methodology (e.g. Prosci/ADKAR, Kotter, or similar), with the ability to adapt and evolve the approach to suit the organisation. Proven ability to build change management frameworks and practices from scratch in an organisation with limited existing capability. Strong understanding of how technology and digital change affects people, processes, and culture and what it takes to make adoption stick. Experience chairing or leading a Change Advisory Board process in a technology or digital environment highly desirable. Fluency in agile delivery practices and the ability to integrate change management activities seamlessly into agile ways of working. Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and build trust at all levels of the organisation without direct authority.

Experience working alongside communications and branding functions to develop and deliver internal change communications. Skilled at managing multiple concurrent change initiatives, with strong planning and prioritisation skills.

Passion for sustainability and the mission to lead the transition to clean energy. Commitment to NextEnergy Group's values: be a leader, build trust, be responsible, be innovative, and 'Bring your Alpha'.
