At Essex County Council, we’re serious about social work and social care. The wellbeing of our children and young people is essential to the future of Essex. We want to give them the best quality of life today, preparing them for the most fulfilling tomorrow.
We’re striving to boost the wellbeing, resilience and life chances of Essex’s children and young people. With our nationally recognised approach to early intervention, safeguarding and stability, we’re continuing to uplift and empower our young people.
With an Ofsted-rated ‘outstanding’ Children & Families team, Essex County Council offers an abundance of diverse opportunities for professional and educational development. Our Essex Social Care Academy (ESCA) provides the support and foundations for our staff to flourish and oversees an outstanding CPD offer. ESCA is accredited by the British Association of Social Workers (BASW) as a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) provider, and is just one example of our commitment to delivering outstanding social care.
At Essex County Council, we immensely value the understanding and experience of all our team members. You’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with families and freedom to practice and the time to reflect on your growth.
We place a great emphasis on your personal wellbeing which is just as integral as your professional development. With that in mind, we’ve also put in place an ongoing wellness strategy.
