We are proud to be an established and strong service that is committed to ensuring all children cared for in South Tyneside have what they need to meet their potential. We have a strong base of values and principles built on relationships and trust that strives to provide support for children to be the best they can be.

You will be based at the MarketPlace alongside our colleagues in Leaving Care, Kinship, Fostering, Virtual School and Participation.
