We currently have 1 temporary vacancy and are looking for candidates who have a variety of skills and experience. Key is a commitment to working with families and professionals to achieve best outcomes for the children of Rotherham. In addition, the opportunities would offer helpful experience to anyone thinking of pursuing a career within children's social care or studying to become a social worker.

Providing a safe, neutral and welcoming space for children to spend time with their parents and families.
