Are you passionate about Early Help and Prevention work? Do you want to work in an ambitious local authority with strong leadership and partnership commitment to early help?

Northumberland is on a continuous improvement journey in relation to its Early Help service. We are supporting further investment to build upon our successful and well-regarded services.

‘Early help is of good quality and engages children and families in purposeful assessments that recommend what interventions and services will best meet their needs. As a result, children’s experiences improve and the need for statutory intervention is avoided.’ (Ofsted ILACS inspection 2020)

Northumberland has adopted a hybrid working model with postholders able to work at home and in allocated offices. We offer an essential car user allowance to staff who are eligible and a range of other benefits to support staff.
