More capacity. More prevention. Better outcomes.
Be part of a service investing in family help and sustainable practice.
Across local government, children's services are facing unprecedented demand and funding constraint. Many organisations are responding by reducing capacity and narrowing ambition. We have chosen a different path. In response to the Families First Partnership Programme reforms, we in NYC are seeking to expand out teams in order to drive the changes of supporting children and their families at the earliest opportunity, right time, right person.
There has never been a better time to join North Yorkshire Council as a social worker with a number of additional roles available across our Children and Young People Services (CYPS).
If you are looking for a role where your expertise will be respected, your development actively supported and your contribution genuinely valued, you will find that here.
This is an opportunity not just to join a service, but to help shape its future - for children, for families and for the profession we are proud to serve. Be part of something special.
