Welcome to our Children’s Service recruitment website

As the second largest borough in London, we put tremendous effort into giving hundreds of children and families the best possible chance in life and our recruitment campaign to find high-quality social work staff has brought many good people to join the team and has helped us do even better. We’ve also given our benefits a complete makeover to match inner-London rewards - it’s highly competitive and developed with our own social workers.

Come to Barnet and you’ll play a vital role in achieving the ambitious targets we’ve set ourselves. High on the agenda for 2007/8 are our six priorities:

Reduce the number of Looked after Children

Improve local placement choice

Better outcomes for Looked after Children

Better care management

Better commissioning and value for money

Better recruitment and retention of staff

Our recent JAR inspection rated our Children’s Service as one of the best in the country to date, so join us as we embark on the next exciting phase of our development, to create a children’s workforce second to none.
