If your passion is around collaborative work with families, children and carers, centred on building relationships in order to help families develop resilience and promote stability, then we are the Local Authority for you.

Working with families to keep children at home wherever possible, our dynamic teams also work with kinship caring and fostering households.

Our practice model is underpinned by relationship-based, systemic approaches to facilitate change, alongside trauma informed practice.

Our practice is values-driven with a strong ethos of child-focussed interventions which support carers to meet children's needs.

We work closely with our colleagues across the service and have established partnerships with agencies across health, education, support services and adult services to ensure we can respond as effectively as possible to the needs of children, young people, and their families.


You can expect:

  • A comprehensive induction
  • Managed caseload, with a variety of support and interventions for children.
  • Regular supervision at a minimum of monthly one to one.
  • Weekly group supervision to promote thoughtful and creative practice, supported by your peers and managers.
