Work in children's social care

Here at Warwickshire County Council we put children and families at the heart of everything we do. We aim to ensure that Warwickshire’s children, young people, parents and carers receive the right help at the right time.

The Front Door is the point for all referrals where members of the community and professionals refer children and young people living in Warwickshire where they are worried about their safety and welfare. This is an office-based post with no face-to-face work with children and families. There is also the requirement to support and supervise Children and Families Advisors.
