Estuary Way is a unique pilot project that offers young people between 18 years and 24 years of age quality, affordable accommodation, education and training as well as therapeutic interventions. Estuary Way will aim to provide safe, supportive, and fully serviced residential accommodation for young people exiting homelessness.

Estuary Way will strive to develop independent living skills through integrated training programmes, clear-cut support plans, empowering young adults to build independent and sustainable lives through integrated care, tenancy support and realise their full potential and take their rightful place in the community in line with Sláintecare principles and the National Youth Homelessness Action Plan.

Post: Head of Young Person & Adult Services (Principal Social Worker Grade)

Whole Time Equivalent: 0.8 WTE (roster includes weekend duty and participation in the management on-call rota)

Reporting to: Chief Executive / Director of Services of Childhood Matters; accountable to the Estuary Way Oversight Group through quarterly reporting

Salary: Aligned to HSE Consolidated Pay Scale – Principal Social Worker

Purpose of the Post

To provide overall leadership, clinical oversight and operational management of Estuary Way, a 38-unit supported transitional accommodation service for 64 young adults (18–24) exiting homelessness, delivered in partnership with Cork City Council, Tusla and the HSE. The Service Manager will hold responsibility for the safety, quality and effectiveness of the therapeutic service, the performance of the multidisciplinary team, and the delivery of all obligations under the Service Level Agreement.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

Provide clinical and operational leadership to a multidisciplinary team of approximately 22 WTE across social care, clinical, vocational and campus support functions.
Share, with the Deputy Manager, a rolling seven-day managerial roster ensuring on-site management presence every day of the week; when not rostered on duty, provide out-of-hours on-call management cover on a rotational basis.
Hold overall responsibility for clinical governance, including weekly multidisciplinary review meetings, structured supervision, reflective practice and oversight of safeguarding, risk management and care progression planning.
Ensure the service operates in line with trauma-informed care, Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) and restorative practice frameworks.
Lead the implementation of the referral, assessment, admission and discharge processes in conjunction with the interagency Admissions & Discharge Panel.
Manage the service budget in line with the approved Business Case; prepare quarterly activity and financial management accounts for the Oversight Group.
Lead, with the AHB partner, the integration of tenancy management and therapeutic support functions.
Build and maintain effective working relationships with Cork City Council, Tusla, HSE Southwest, the AHB and community stakeholders.
Oversee impact measurement, data collection (including PASS reporting), KPI performance and the year-one evaluation.
Ensure compliance with all relevant legislation, regulation and policy, including Children First (2015), National Vetting Bureau Acts, safeguarding of vulnerable adults, GDPR, and health and safety obligations.
Recruit, induct, develop and retain staff; foster a culture of reflective practice, staff wellbeing and continuous quality improvement.
Undertake such other duties as may reasonably be assigned, consistent with the grade and purpose of the post. This job description will be reviewed during the pilot phase as the service develops.
