We have a strong emphasis on relationship-based practice and aim to work with children, young people and their parents and carers in a way which recognises and builds on their strengths and keeps families together.

Our Family Safeguarding Service consists of two locality teams, one based in Calcot and the other in Newbury. We are committed to getting it right for our children and young people. We have great staff doing amazing work; we believe in investing in people to develop their skills and knowledge to achieve their full potential.

**The benefits for you**:

- A golden hello payment of £3k after one year in post
- A retention payment of £2k after two years of service
- A further retention payment of £3k, plus a four week paid sabbatical after three years’ service
- Flexible Working: West Berkshire has adopted a _Hybrid Working Policy_, which allows employees to split their time between attending the workplace and working remotely
- Free Parking
- Social Work England registration fees reimbursed
- Dedicated employee wellbeing service
- Regular and high quality reflective supervision.
- Approachable and visible senior leadership
- Local Government Pension Scheme
- Generous annual leave allowance, plus an additional 5 days leave after 5 years continuous local authority service
- Staff benefits and discount scheme
- Blue Light card fees reimbursed
