Why Newcastle Children’s Social Care?
In February 2022 Newcastle Children’s Social Care was rated as GOOD across all areas by Ofsted. Social Workers are positive about working for Newcastle and feel well supported through their induction.
Through our innovative work as part of the DFE’s Strengthening Families Protecting Children programme, we have implemented the Family Valued approach across our service and city to transform how we work with children, families, and partners. Family Valued is a relational and restorative approach to services, focusing on strength and values.
As an enthusiastic team player, you will benefit from a dedicated and supportive workplace culture where we will support you to succeed. Our social workers tell us “Newcastle is such a good authority to work for” where “our shared vision and values are really rooted in our practice.”
