Deputy Area Manager

Fixed Term Contract Until September 2019

TACT, the UK’s largest fostering and adoption charity now has over 500 dedicated carers, who look after over 600 children and young people across the country. Our reputation and growth rests upon our strength in providing successful placements. As a charity, we do not have shareholders who receive profits and we invest all of our surplus income into service, staff, carers, and children’s development.

This role is a fixed term post until the end of September 2019, to support the management of the South West Service based in Bristol whilst they develop a new office in the South Coast area (Bournemouth). Whilst the post will be based at the TACT office in Bristol, the applicant will be required to travel, and the role may involve the occasional overnight stay. The successful applicant will be joining a fostering service that was recently judged as “Outstanding” by Ofsted.  You will supervise Social Work staff and non-qualified staff, carry a small caseload of foster carers, organise training for foster carers and support the Area Manager in monitoring the work of the service.

To be considered, you will need to have experience of working with children and young people in a statutory setting and have a management qualification.  You will also need to be HCPC registered and have a DipSW, CSS or CQSW qualification.  An Enhanced DBS clearance is required, and this check will be undertaken by TACT on your behalf.  The use of a car is essential.

You will be required to work an out of hours rota, attracting an additional allowance of £1,500 per annum. 

TACT offer an excellent benefits package including 31 days paid holiday, flexible working arrangements, group income protection scheme, x10 death in service, stakeholder pension scheme, child care vouchers and fantastic learning and development opportunities. Please see the job information pack for further information.
