Peterborough MASH (Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub) is a collaborative arrangement with statutory partners and co-located agencies which supports highly effective joint working and decision making for children and families in Peterborough.

We believe that the best practice is ‘family shared practice’, where many decisions about a child or young person are taken with them, their families and carers.

This is a new service and we are building solid foundations on which good practice can flourish.

This includes:

· Implementing a refreshed practice model with innovative ways of working with children and families,

· a restorative culture that enables professional learning and development,

· developing our workforce with a new dynamic leadership team in place and an evolving workforce strategy.

We are excited about the future and are looking for a leader who has a positive can do attitude, who demonstrates flexibility and resilience and is able to continue to develop the service so that Peterborough children receive the right support at the right time.
