ITT for the Recruitment and Management of Children's Agency Social Workers

The Council has produced a Children's Service Improvement Plan for its Children's Services division. A key priority of the children's workforce strategy is to further stabilise the workforce and build sustainable capacity for the future. A critical part of this plan is the development of an updated procurement strategy and approach to managing agency workers due to the issues encountered by the service.

The period of contract will be from 1st December 2017 to 30th November 2019 with the option to extend for up to a further two years until 30th November 2021.
