We support children and young people who have complex needs associated with their disability throughout the span of their childhood. We work closely with adult services colleagues to ensure a smooth and seamless transition to adulthood. We are responsible for children and young people who receive care and support, care and protection and children who are looked after.

You will be provided with regular supervision, peer supervision, practice development opportunities and a range of training options.

“Before joining the child health & disability team I was nervous about my ability to support children who have complex needs. However, through the support of my team mates, manager and the variety of training and experience I have been provided with I have been able to build on existing transferable skills to become a confident social worker who enjoys supporting and mentoring others. The most rewarding part of my role is completing direct work with children, children with additional needs are children first and are at the centre of all of the work we do!”
