Huddersfield is the administrative centre of Kirklees Council, which commissions children's residential services across a diverse urban-rural district also encompassing Dewsbury, Batley and the Colne and Holme Valleys. Kirklees' children's services have undergone significant improvement work over the past decade, and residential provision in the district is a mix of in-house homes and independent providers spanning both valley communities and the towns.
Kirklees employers value candidates who understand the blend of urban and valley-community contexts and who can work across the district's diverse cultural communities. Experience of working alongside Calderdale and West Yorkshire partners is useful.
Ofsted-registered children's homes: around 330 registered children's homes across South, West and North Yorkshire
Sector vacancy rate: 20%
a mix of metropolitan and semi-rural provision, with Doncaster, Bradford and Leeds among the larger-volume local authority commissioners
