What we’re looking for:

• An experienced child health, social care or education professional - applications will be particularly welcome from those who have worked in a community environment and those with a recognised qualification in education, health or social care
• A warm, inclusive approach to achieving goals quickly and correctly
• Practiced in child protection, information sharing and the rules around data protection - you lead by example, drawing on your own professional experience and working within established guidelines
