Referral and Assessment Vacancies

The Referral and Assessment Service is the first port of call for all initial enquiries from anyone concerned about a child or for any emergencies. The team serves as the Multi-Agency Support Hub and is where the referrals and key decisions take place.

The service works with both the children and families with ‘early’ needs and, in doing so, helps prevent escalation to more in-depth social care involvement.

In addition, the team provides information and signposts to the right services, including child protection enquiries.

Slough is one of the most diverse places in the country outside of London and a great place to live or work. In fact it’s the best place to live or work according to a survey by Glassdoor. Pleasant environments, above average salaries and a lower cost of living, mean an increased quality of life for employees. We’re also one of the most accessible places to be, nestled on the corner of the M25, M4 and M40, and less than 20 minutes by train to Central London.
