We are looking to recruit effective, resilient and highly motivated individuals to join our Multi Agency Screening Team in North Yorkshire.
MAST was created in Oct 2014, consisting of Social Workers, Social Work managers, Early Help, Business Support, North Yorkshire Police and Safeguarding Health professionals.

It is expected that the applicant will be able to work from County Hall when required including at least once per week.

We offer regular 1-1 and group based supervisions taking a collaborative team approach in delivering best practice at the front door. You will receive an excellent rewards package including agile working, membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance.
