Uk Remote Working jobs

At Shropshire Council’s Children’s Services, it’s all about the care. It always has been and always will be. We care for some of the most vulnerable children and their families in Shropshire. We care that children’s voices are heard. We believe that when we treat children and young people with respect and trust, love and encouragement, we give children every opportunity to grow.

We care for our staff, too. Which is why we’re investing in everything from new staff to new ways of working, so that our brilliant teams can do what they do best: give the best possible care to the children of Shropshire. And because we care about the great work you do, you’ll enjoy a £5,000 'well done’ payment, too. Because this is more than a job. It’s a career. And it’s all about the care.
