Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about children's social work opportunities at North Somerset Council.

North Somerset really is a lovely place to live and work. It is an ideal location - with close proximity to cities like Bristol, Bath and Cardiff and the amazing range of entertainment, culture and sport that they offer. 

From North Somerset it is an easy journey to London and there are several regional airports close by allowing access to Europe and beyond.

It’s also the gateway to Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset. All of which are home to some of the most beautiful coastline and countryside in Europe.

More information can be found on our working with us page.

Come onboard and you’ll be joining a Children’s Service that is already recognised by OfSTED as being ‘good’.

Our small multi-skilled practice groups, headed up by a new and energetic breed of practice leaders, are now well established. They are known widely for delivering excellence in their field and building strong links with multi-agency, multi-professional locality teams.

Our ambition for Children’s Services in North Somerset is one where we can provide excellent services, are recognised nationally as a beacon for good practice, and where staff feel valued and proud to work.

We have also produced a short video, called Social work job opportunities at North Somerset Council to show you what it's like working with us.

More details about the work we do can be found on our services page. 

Details of current vacancies with us are available with on our jobs opportunities page.

Our vision is that by July 2010 social care practice in North Somerset will be amongst the best, most reputable, safest and progressive in the country.

Come and join us and help deliver our vision whilst realising your ambitions. So go on, put in your application. I’m sure you won’t regret it!
