Why join us?

Children’s Social Care:

We are aiming high in Rochdale’s Children’s Social Care Service with a real focus on providing good and outstanding services for children and families in Rochdale.  Our recent JTAI showed how far we have come and what a great place to practice Rochdale is. 

“Many strengths were identified including practice by committed multi-agency partners that are helping to protect children across all age groups. Relationships were strong and respectful and there was a culture of learning and openness to challenge in response to concerns about children being harmed.

Staff across health services, social workers, police, schools and early help practitioners report that they are well supported, valued and have good access to a wide range of training and development opportunities. “
