About the Role
Performance Officers are responsible for making sure the front-line service teams receive and have access to the information they need to sustain and further develop improvements.

The Performance Team also manage all statutory data returns including the annual Child in Need Census SSDA903, fostering returns and the quarterly ASGLB. Performance Officers take a leading role in the submission process and so a deep understanding of children’s social care, and knowledge and experience of the children in need census essential.
The work done so far has been challenging and varied. And none of that stops now! With invaluable support from the children’s services leadership team, the performance function is growing, taking on more work, with more responsibility and visibility.
