Welcome to the Cambridgeshire County Council website. These pages are dedicated to informing you about opportunities in Social Care in our Children and Young People’s Service.  We believe we have something very different to offer in a progressive, supportive and successful environment. We are a high performing authority with award winning status and Investors in People and we are committed to enabling you to excel as a caring professional.   

Working with children and young people can be immensely rewarding in helping them to grow up safe, healthy and able to lead fulfilled lives.  When the disadvantaged and vulnerable members of our community put their trust in us, we want to repay that confidence with securing positive and lasting outcomes. So are you ready to help?

Social care is about making a difference and to help you achieve this, we need to be a little different too.

… to the community

Our aim is to provide focused services that accurately and effectively meet the needs of children and families in Cambridgeshire, to support, enable and protect them.  For a number of years, we have invested in family support and we now have a range of services, including out of hours services.  These are aimed at:

• children in need, including those in need of protection
• looked after children
• disabled children
• unaccompanied refugee and asylum-seeking children

Our new service approach means that we are working even more closely with colleagues in education, health and the voluntary sector to offer the best possible outcomes for children and young people in Cambridgeshire.
