Working in the Trust gives you the opportunity to acquire a diverse set of professional experiences; and exceptional professional development.

The pace is fast, and at CASS, we cover all of Birmingham, so you can imagine the challenges of progressing over 3000 referrals each month, that number doesn’t include the phone calls we get. We work core hours (8.45am to 5.15 pm Monday to Thursday, 8.45 to 4.15pm on Fridays), and sit with the MASH partner agencies, to continue to develop strong relationships with all those invested in safeguarding children.
