Barnet is the second largest borough in London and one of the most vibrant and successful in the Capital. Home to around 335,000 people, we are committed to helping every child fulfil their potential.

Crucially, we recognise that no single organisation can succeed in this field alone and that's why we take a multi-agency approach towards child care. Working in partnership with health services, the police, the probation service, Barnet College and Middlesex University, as well as voluntary and private sector providers, we're able to deliver our strategy in the belief that working together, anything's possible in Barnet.

Wherever you join us in the Children's Service, you can expect a clearly-defined career path, supported by comprehensive training and professional development. We have also introduced initiatives that will help you to specialise in your field of choice or diversify your experience.

Besides career development, there are a lot's of tangible benefits that make working here so rewarding. On top of competitive rates of pay, we offer a range of discounted services within the borough, especially leisure facilities. We also champion a strong work/life balance, with policies including flexible working hours, increased annual leave and child-friendly working arrangements.

What all this means is that a career that challenges, rewards and fulfils in equal measure is very much yours for the taking here in Barnet.
