About the Service

We're on an exciting and ambitious journey of cultural change. We are continuing to embed and relational ways of working. We believe that for most families, the best place for children to live is within their family and our role is to provide high support alongside high challenge to achieve this.

We work with families who need extra help or specialist support to look after their children and keep them safe.

You will deliver on the job training, coaching, and mentoring to students, unqualified staff, and less experienced colleagues to develop their skills. You will evidence how pausing and reflecting can enable us to achieve the best possible outcomes for our children, young people, and their families.
