What We Offer
Flexible, social-work-led support for local authorities and children’s services. Built around what you actually need.
Nurtura Connect Ltd provides specialist recruitment, workforce support and tailored service packages for local authorities and children’s services. Our work is designed to support safe practice, reduce avoidable delay, strengthen capacity and provide practical help during periods of crisis, increased demand or operational pressure.
We work alongside your existing teams — never as a replacement for them — providing additional, safe and purposeful capacity that makes a meaningful difference.
Our Services
Specialist Recruitment & Staffing Support
We provide dependable, skilled and values-led staff who are matched not only on skills and experience, but also on attitude, reliability, safeguarding awareness and suitability. Every placement is made with care, with full compliance checks and a genuine understanding of your service’s needs.
Includes:
- Temporary and flexible staffing across children’s services
- Compliance-checked, DBS-verified candidates
- Values and suitability matching — not just availability
- Ongoing communication and review
Emergency & Crisis-Response Support
Our Emergency Bank Team can provide rapid, flexible support when your service is experiencing staffing gaps, sudden absence, increased demand, placement disruption, urgent visits, family time pressures or time-limited tasks that cannot safely wait.
This support is designed to add capacity while maintaining clear boundaries, safeguarding awareness and local authority oversight.
Includes:
- Short-notice, same-day or next-day placements where possible
- Experienced professionals with clear escalation protocols
- Flexibility around hours, location and task type
- Handover documentation and clear communication throughout
Support Packages for Children & Families
We offer structured, practical and relationship-based packages that can help local authorities respond to specific areas of need. This includes support around home conditions, family functioning, housing instability, tenancy risk, crisis pressure and practical barriers that may affect children’s safety, stability and wellbeing.
Includes:
- Intensive family support
- Home visiting and practical support
- Relationship-based intervention
- Written reporting and outcome tracking
Workforce Stability & Staff Wellbeing Support
Our model is designed to work alongside existing teams, not replace them. By providing additional safe capacity during periods of pressure, we aim to reduce strain on permanent staff, protect morale, support continuity and help services remain focused on their core statutory responsibilities.
Includes:
- Capacity support during peak pressure periods
- Cover for planned/unplanned absence
- Supervision support (where appropriate)
- Team briefing and integration support
Bespoke Local Authority Packages
Where needs fall outside a standard package, we can work with commissioners to shape bespoke support around the specific needs of the child, family, service and local authority. This may include defined pieces of social work, family support or assessment-related activity, subject to suitability, availability, scope and governance arrangements.
Includes:
- Scoping and planning discussion with your team
- Tailored delivery model
- Clear governance and oversight arrangements
- Outcome reporting
