In April 2020 Buckinghamshire Council became the UK’s newest council and the residents of Buckinghamshire will be served by a single, unitary council.
Buckinghamshire is an ambitious, rapidly growing county, and our economy is one of the strongest in the country. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and ranks as one of the top rural areas to live in the UK. The county has a rich history and heritage and is the birthplace of the international Paralympic movement.
We are looking for motivated, ambitious, and inspiring people to join us on our journey. The Family Time Service is required to support children and young people by providing family time with parents and significant others from whom they are separated whilst they are accommodated with the Local Authority.
