We're one of the fastest growing parts of the country and the third most diverse London borough. Our communities are attracted by a mixture of excellent schools, relatively affordable housing, high-quality open space, and rapid transport connections into the heart of the city.

Along with regular feedback and supervision from your manager, you will have access to protected development time to reflect on your progress against the PCF and KSS.
Your ASYE Professional Development Plan will tailor your progressive development needs to make best use of the support programme available to you including a reduced case load and a dedicated NQSW training programme.
