Coventry City Council commissions children's residential care as a unitary authority distinct from neighbouring Warwickshire, and the city has invested in sufficiency planning to reduce reliance on distant out-of-area placements. Coventry's provider base spans smaller in-city homes and regional providers operating across Warwickshire and Solihull, making cross-authority working a routine part of practice for residential teams.
Coventry employers look for candidates who can work effectively across the Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire commissioning network and who can evidence strong placement-matching practice within a city sufficiency strategy.
