It’s an exciting time to join Bedford Borough Council’s Children's Services.
We want every child in Bedford Borough to be safe and to achieve their potential. We support families in this aim and where necessary act as a Corporate Parent to promote good outcomes for the more vulnerable children and young people from birth through to their 25th birthday.
We believe that every family can be supported through evidenced-based approaches to build on their own strengths so they can support themselves. We aim to achieve this by providing access to high-quality, evidenced-based interventions which ensure all children, young people and their families get the right support and action at the right time.
We’re a friendly, supportive, passionate team. Our commitment to creating positive outcomes is second to none, our young people actively help shape the service.
What truly sets us apart is our inclusive and supportive culture, where teamwork is celebrated and every voice matters. Our Children’s Services team is known for its welcoming atmosphere and impactful work - staff consistently say how rewarding and fulfilling it is to be part of such a dedicated team.
Following a restructure, we are looking for a suitably qualified and experienced individual to lead and manage the delivery of high-quality social work practice across the Integrated Front Door (IFD), Assessment teams, and Bedford’s response to domestic abuse. The postholder will combine operational leadership with strategic workforce development to improve outcomes for children and families and ensure a strong pipeline of capable practitioners. They will also lead on the Families First Partnership government programme, support the implementation of multi-agency child protection reforms and make greater use of Family Group Decision Making.
The successful applicant will be a qualified Social Worker registered with Social Work England. They will also have in-depth knowledge of current issues and latest legislation relating to all services covered by this role, and significant strategic management/service planning at a senior level.
