An exciting opportunity has arisen at the NSPCC's Camden location for an enthusiastic and dynamic team manager to join the team.

The NSPCC delivers services within The Lighthouse in Camden, the UK's first Child House.  This multi-disciplinary innovative service, led by University College London Hospital, provides physical and emotional health assessment, criminal justice and advocacy support and a range of therapeutic interventions to children and young people, following the disclosure of sexual abuse.

Within The Lighthouse, NSPCC deliver our Letting the Future In (LTFI) service that includes:

  • An Assessment of Therapeutic Need 
  • Intervention to the child or young person who has been sexually abused, where appropriate
  • Work with parents/carers to support children through their interventions
  • Bespoke interventions with siblings affected by their sister/brother's abuse.

This whole family approach reflects the impact that child sexual abuse can have within a family.

We are looking for a dynamic and experienced social worker to take the post of Team Manager in the Letting the Future In Service within The Lighthouse.

The NSPCC can offer the right candidate with the potential to grow and develop, fantastic learning opportunities, an improved work / life balance and the experience of working in a well-established charity that sets high standards and expectations on improving the lives of children. The successful candidate will have access to a Team Manager Development Programme alongside service specific training.

The successful candidate will, as a leader in the team, manage and shape the ongoing contribution to The Lighthouse partnership with UCLH in line with the NSPCC current strategy. They will be an integral part of the management team and will be responsible for the line management of up to five social workers.

The NSPCC are looking for a candidate with excellent communication skills, experience of supporting and developing staff within the safeguarding field as well as skills, knowledge and passion to drive improved outcomes for Children and Families. Candidates need to demonstrate motivation to improve the quality of the work provided by the team, have some experience of delivering supervision that supports good practice that promotes positive values and behaviours and expertise in the field of safeguarding.

An integral part of the NSPCC current strategy is the delivery of innovative, pioneering, evidence based practice across the safeguarding agenda. In addition, the NSPCC is seeking to share this learning to spread the reach and impact of our work. Therefore, the role requires a positive and flexible approach to influencing change and innovation

For an informal discussion about this post, please contact Valerie Charles or Marian Moore, Partnership Service Managers, valerie.charles@nspcc.org.uk or marian.moore@nspcc.org.uk

Safer Recruitment

As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.


Trauma Informed

At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.
