Job Family Approach to Pay

04/09/2024 - Job Family Approach to Pay

Further to the recommendations arising from the Ofsted inspection of Children’s Services, it is proposed to move to a “Job Family” approach for qualified Children’s Social Worker roles. This will be based upon using market supplements to improve pay, which in turn supports the Children’s Services strategy to recruit and retain a stable workforce. Given the urgent need to implement Ofsted’s recommendations, work needs to commence on implementing this proposal prior to the September Executive Board meeting.
