Deputy Manager - No Wrong Door
Working Hours: 36 hours per week, including weekends, evenings, and sleep ins to meet service needs
Grade: 3C, £29,636 - £32,029
Contract Type: Permanent
Closing Date: September 8th, 23:59

About us
Salford is a thriving cultural, economic and residential location, well known as a channel for academic and business talent. Children get a great start at a wide range of schools, further education colleges and the award-winning University of Salford. The waterfront development at MediaCity UK makes Salford a major centre of UK media production.

We want children growing up in Salford to see and say that their city, community, and services are great and this has been recognised in our most recent Ofsted report which rates our continued overall services as ‘good’. This means that ‘children have continued to receive focused, timely and proportionate support in response to their needs and level of risk. Multi-agency arrangements for children are effective and these lead to a good range of interventions that keep children safe’ (Ofsted 2018)

About our team
We are now implementing the ‘No Wrong Door’ (NWD) approach which is a new exciting way of working collaboratively to meet the needs of our most vulnerable children and families in Salford. Our No Wrong Door model will focus on providing a robust and asset based intervention to young people aged 12 – 17 years who are on the edge of care, in care or at risk of placement instability. We believe that the NWD approach will embrace a closer working relationship with adolescents – a ‘working with’ rather than a ‘doing to’ approach. We want to be seen as a listening organization and one where young people do not need to repeat their story to each professional, no matter which agency is involved. Having no preconceived time limits on the duration of support will enable change to happen at a pace that the young person can manage and will have a greater opportunity for sustained improvements and future outcomes.

Our hub which will provide residential and outreach support will have a dedicated team which includes:
• Two Deputy Managers
• Key workers who support young people and their families within the hub and by outreach work in the community
• Portfolio Leads (keyworkers with additional levels of responsibility)
• Life coach (clinical psychologist)
• Speech and Language therapist
• Educational Psychologist
• Police Officer
• Two community foster families who work out of the hub and are part of the professional team
 
About you
The resilient keyworkers ‘stick’ with the young person through thick and thin to access the right services at the right time and in the right place to meet their needs.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Deputy Manager to help develop our new service. We are looking for someone who really wants to make a difference. You will need to have extensive experience of working with vulnerable adolescents who have complex needs and present high risk. You will have experience of managing and supervising staff. You will demonstrate our values of Pride, Passion, People and Personal Responsibility to give young people the stability, skills and support to manage their transition to adulthood and independence successfully.
