Children and Families jobs in the Eastern Region

A place where Children’s Social Workers can be agents for change

Across the Eastern Region, we see how much Children’s Social Work matters. All of our Social Workers, Team Managers and Heads of Service are working with such commitment to keep children with families.

We’re a community of 11 authorities, coming together in a unique collaboration. Together, we’ve reduced the number of children in care across the region – in some cases by up to a third. Every time we develop pioneering new ideas in areas such as family safeguarding – we work collaboratively to roll them out across the region.

With us, your career can develop faster, your ideas can be shared more widely and our Social Workers receive the support they need to be agents for change in their communities.

Join us in the Eastern Region, where we take pride in Children’s Social Work, in each other and in you.
