Dundee City Council is Scotland's fourth-largest city authority and works within the Tayside regional grouping alongside Perth and Kinross and Angus councils. The city has higher-than-average deprivation indicators, which shapes the complexity of its residential childcare casework, and like the rest of Scotland its practice is guided by The Promise and the Care Inspectorate's quality framework.
Dundee employers value practitioners who bring strong complex-casework experience, SSSC registration and the ability to work across the Tayside sub-regional commissioning footprint.
