Are you a team player who can motivate those you work with? Greenwich Children’s Services is an exciting place to work, ambitious for our children and families. We put children, young people and families at the centre of everything we do and pride ourselves on delivering effective, values-driven services relentlessly focused on continuous improvement.

As a member of the Projects and Partnership Service within the Quality Improvement Division, you will help shape and deliver our new Quality Improvement Framework and manage a portfolio of projects aimed at improving the lives of children, young people and families.

Recent projects delivered by the Projects and Partnership Service include:
