Strong leadership is vital for any local authority – we are therefore looking for an experienced practitioner/manager who's looking for their next opportunity to join a great local authority (based off feedback), Gloucestershire County Council, on a permanent basis to continue their focus on the development of practice.

You will be a Team Manager in the Children in Care service.

Due to the ambitions of the service, you will ideally have a strong background in a previous leadership role, and even more desirably a history of service improvement and development. However, this council is also happy to consider experienced ATM's / Advanced practitioners who are seeking further career progression.

As well as a brilliant opportunity for a seasoned Team/Practice Manager to continue to implement positive change, this is the chance to join a council that boasts a lovely location in the rural South West of England!
