Turn Around for Children Service | £6k in welcome & retention | Flexible Working | £8k relocation package

Are you looking for some advancement in your career, but seem to be held back by your current employers need for your knowledge and skills – meaning you get the complex and high caseloads rather than the advancement you want?

Are you an agency worker looking to step into seniority, or a permanent member not getting the chance to step up? Albeit agency is attractive for many reasons (we completely get it!), and staying put in a job you know is comfortable - but what can a change offer you?

About the Team:

The Turn Around for Children Service is a multi-agency, professional service which manages and delivers the Gloucestershire Family Drug & Alcohol Court. You will support families who have addictions and co-morbidities which present as Hidden Harm for children. You'll work intensely, therapeutically, systematically, and restoratively with trauma across whole families, most often generational trauma. You will be working with families in a court setting and writing reports every fortnight.

Salaries range from £46,731 - £49,764

Locations: Cotswolds, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Forest of Dean, Cheltenham, Gloucester

• welcome payment of £4,000
