We are very proud of the services that we provide to children in Shropshire, which Ofsted gave a ‘Good’ rating in October 2017.

• Mutual respect at all levels.
• A small authority where there are direct relationships between senior managers and “shop floor” staff.
• A beautiful locality to work in.
• An excellent training programme.
• Great opportunities for progression.
• A relationship based practice model with both our clients and staff.
