    About us

    Northamptonshire Children's Trust was established in November 2020 to deliver Children's Services to the newly established North and West Northants County Councils. The Trust is wholly owned and funded but operationally independent from the Councils; this provides the organisation with unique opportunities to explore new ways of working and to be more agile and adaptable in its approach to service delivery. We are developing a culture that allows the very highest quality of professional practice to flourish and evolve, delivering at the cutting edge of new innovation.

    The Disabled Children's Team supports children with complex disabilities and their families. The team consists of Team Managers, Advanced Practitioners, Senior Social Workers, Social Workers, ASYEs, Family Support workers and dedicated Business support.

    We work with children aged 0-18 covering children in need, child protection and safeguarding, court work and Children in Care. The team works closely with colleagues in health, education and the voluntary sector using a multi-disciplinary team approach.

    The Disabled Children's Team is a supportive and committed team of practitioners who strive to achieve positive outcomes for some of the most vulnerable children in the county.

    We regret that we are not accepting any overseas applications at this time.
