Current Vacancies

Social Work Manager - Practice Lead

📍 Location: Hybrid – Head Office at Crewe Hall, Crewe

💰 Salary: £54,000

⏳ Contract: Permanent, Full-time

Job Purpose and Outline

We're looking for an experienced social worker to play an essential role within a charity dedicated to supporting young people leaving care.

NHP provides a framework and not a model and whilst LHPs must keep to the fidelity of the approach, local environments and the young people themselves will determine how projects proceed. This is where you will come in as a practice lead. With knowledge of child development, attachment styles, trauma informed care, the care system and the House Project approach you will support staff in LHPs to work in ways to develop practice that puts young people at the heart of the decision-making process and supports the local ‘system’ to improve how young people leave care.
