• About The Role

  • This role is to help and support the team responsible for drafting Social Care Advice forms for children within the city who come to us, and the way we do this is by doing the behind the scenes work such as responding to emails, updating an excel tracker, posting out correspondence to families and sending the SCA to the team at SENAR.

     You will be working alongside some very experienced members of the team and the work we do has very strict time scales attached to them so the ability to work well under pressure as well as using your own initiative is key to being successful within this role. This would suit anyone who has experience of multi-tasking and meeting deadlines in previous roles.

    We have been rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted, following a 2023 inspection. This is a fantastic achievement for Birmingham Children's Trust, with many positive highlights focusing on areas including the quality of staff leadership, partnership working, safeguarding and corporate parenting.
