Gloucester is the administrative centre of Gloucestershire County Council, which commissions children's residential services across a shire-county catchment blending urban Gloucester and Cheltenham with extensive Cotswolds, Forest of Dean and Vale rural communities. Gloucestershire's provider market includes both established in-county providers and closer-to-Bristol operators working cross-border.
Gloucestershire employers value staff comfortable with county-wide travel, rural outreach and cross-border working with West of England neighbours. Strong partnership with Gloucestershire's Virtual School is a regular feature of practice.
Ofsted-registered children's homes: around 240 Ofsted-registered children's homes

a large rural geography drives long placement distances and the region consistently reports some of England's highest residential staff vacancy pressure
