This newly created role will serve a vital purpose in ensuring that the local authority is able to support children and young people with an assessed need, following a social care assessment, to receive a short break.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our team at a time of great development within the council’s specialist services, supporting children and young people with additional needs, as well as their families, to access the support that they require.
