In our childrens homes, Children Education and Family Directorate, were committed to delivering lasting change, by helping the children, and their families of Oxfordshire to thrive and succeed. We know the importance of building relationships, empowering people, and building on strengths and this is reflected in our restorative, relational and SLT based practice. Everyday youll be challenged in a new way, by supporting our children, in an organisation that is free thinking, flexible, and helps Children achieve their ambitions. We believe that together, our differences make us stronger, and that diversity is the foundation for innovation. Here, you can create a unique career for yourself while raising the bar for the future of childrens social care. The childrens homes work in line with the Family Safeguarding Plus model. It is designed to improve the main statutory childrens social work services from the assessment of vulnerable children through and those children who first come into care.
