Package includes:

• Welcome payment of £4,000
• Annual retention payment of £2,000
• Relocation package of up to £8,000
• Flexible working options
• Generous annual leave starting at 25.5 days, increasing to 30.5 days after five years, with an option to purchase 10 additional days per year

The Council is committed to supporting every child's well-being through continuous improvement, systemic and relational practice approaches, and empowering staff to make a real difference. The team is structured to ensure manageable caseloads, including a Team Manager, Advanced Practitioner, and four Social Workers per team.
