The Children with Disabilities service operates as a single specialist team, comprising a Team Manager, two Managing Practitioners, one Senior Practitioner, Social Workers, and Family Support Workers.

You will be skilled in multi-agency assessment and planning, resilient in managing complex situations, and committed to inclusive, person-centred practice.
