Right child, right support, right time, every time

In our recent inspection in June 2025, our Children’s Services have been officially judged as ‘Good’ with ‘Outstanding’ elements. Ofsted also said ‘Leaders have set out a clear vision for delivering success for children, by modelling values and creating a culture where the workforce, children and families feel valued and heard; risk is managed confidently with bottom lines clearly set out.’

This marks an important step in our journey to improve outcomes for our children and young people, and we remain focused on our mission: to continue building on this success and ensure that every child and young person in our county has the opportunity to thrive.

Gloucestershire offers a range of opportunities to develop your career, supported by a phenomenal Social Work Academy offer, a developing systemic practice methodology, an ambitious leadership team and an award-winning workforce.

We are a local authority adopting, and training all colleagues in, systemic social work practice. If you would like to be part of an authority that takes a relational approach to working with families and focuses on what needs to change in the system around a child and family to enable children to thrive, then consider a role with GCC.

About The Team

Social workers within the Hub work closely with district Multi-Agency Child Protection Teams, acting as HOTH specialists to support Lead Child Protection Practitioners. The team strengthen safeguarding practice through robust analysis, informed decision-making, and collaborative working. As part of this, the Hub leads on key processes such as the HOTH Daily Meeting and Multi-Agency Child Exploitation (MACE) and will soon introduce a pre-MACE approach to enhance early intervention.

About the Role

The Senior Data Analyst will play a pivotal role in the Hub, delivering high-quality analysis of trends and patterns of harm, enabling data-driven decisions and supporting strategic responses to exploitation and extra-familial risk.

This is a part-time role (18.5 hours per week), with days and times negotiable within the working week. No antisocial hours are required. We offer flexible hybrid working arrangements, so you will work both from our Gloucester office and from home.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team committed to improving outcomes for vulnerable children and young people.
