Milton Keynes City Council is a unitary authority with one of England's fastest-growing child populations, driving continued focus on in-city residential sufficiency planning. The authority sits within the Thames Valley and Chiltern sub-region and commissions across a provider footprint that stretches into Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and beyond.
Milton Keynes employers value candidates comfortable with a growing, planned-city environment, familiarity with Thames Valley and Chilterns sub-regional working, and strong practice evidence from a relatively young unitary authority.
Ofsted-registered children's homes: approximately 330 registered children's homes
