We adopt the North Lincolnshire One Family Approach model, which ensures the best possible outcomes for children and families. Ofsted stated in 2022 that “Children benefit from a consistently high standard of social work practice. The commitment to children as a priority for the council and across the partnership is exemplary. Senior leaders have created a culture in which social work has flourished. It is based on the importance of relationships and of promoting children’s sense of being loved and cared for”.

We are committed to workforce learning and development, enabling improved and innovative practice.

North Lincolnshire Council offers agile, flexible working and in-house training, with a focus on workforce wellbeing. You will have access to an array of training, resources and support for your continuous professional development. We support our staff to be confident professionals with the skills, values, knowledge and expertise to do their job well.
