Why Work for Us?

When you work in the Children and Families Service at Gateshead Council, you will benefit from an approach to Continuing Professional Development which guarantees regular supervision and appraisal, support with post qualifying awards, and protected development and training days, all supported by our award-winning training team.

Each day will be different and can involve direct work with children and their families, meeting professional care workers or dealing with care proceedings in court.

“The children I work with have such spirit, strength and resilience. I am often amazed at their ability to get on with life and their sense of fun, despite what they may be going through. Even though my job can sometimes be very stressful and distressing, it can also be very rewarding.”
