The posting

Liquid Personnel is working with a well‑established Residential Family Assessment Service in Medway that’s looking for a confident and experienced Social Worker to step into a Deputy Manager role.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys assessment work, direct practice with families, and supporting staff — but wants to move away from the pace and pressure of Local Authority frontline teams. The service offers a calmer, structured environment where the focus is on high‑quality observations, building relationships with parents, and producing clear, balanced assessments.

What the Role Involves

As Deputy Manager, you’ll work closely with the Registered Manager to help run the day‑to‑day service. You’ll still be involved in practice, but in a more focused and manageable setting.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting and supervising Family Support Workers and assessment staff
  • Contributing to parenting assessments, observations, and report writing
  • Quality checking recordings and assessment evidence
  • Acting as Safeguarding Lead and attending professional meetings
  • Supporting with Ofsted preparation and general quality assurance
  • Helping with staff training, induction and development

What They’re Looking For

  • A qualified Social Worker registered with Social Work England
  • Strong safeguarding and assessment experience
  • Someone confident in supervising or mentoring others
  • Good analytical and report‑writing skills
  • A full UK driving licence

Desirable but not essential: Experience in residential assessment, court‑related work, or trauma‑informed approaches.

Why This Could Be a Refreshing Change

If you’re feeling worn down by the volume and constant deadlines of statutory work, this role offers something different. You’ll have time and space to focus on fewer families, build relationships, and complete thorough assessments without being pulled in multiple directions.

It’s also a strong next step for someone ready to develop their leadership skills while staying connected to practice.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
