Our teams use a restorative practice framework and a range of interventions to address and reduce risk. Key areas of focus include co-production, safety planning, strong relationships with children, early permanence planning, and legal interventions where children are not considered safe in their family. There are 6 Children and Families First teams , each consisting of a Team Manager, Assistant Team Manager, 7 Social Workers, and a Family Support Practitioner. All statutory teams are co-located at the Civic Centre, Bournemouth, but work flexibly across the BCP area.

These placements may take you to different areas of the business, from supporting submarine sustainment to working on surface ships or marine infrastructure projects. The variety ensures you see the full scope of naval architecture in practice and understand how each discipline contributes to successful project delivery. How do we develop and support you? From day one, you'll receive structured support, personalised training, and dedicated mentorship to help you excel throughout your programme and beyond. You'll join our Graduate Development Programme, featuring expert-led masterclasses on communication, personal branding, resilience, and wellbeing. To support your journey toward Chartered or Incorporated Engineer status, we offer guidance and cover all associated fees. What rewards and benefits will you get? We want you to feel supported, valued and excited about what's ahead. That's why we offer a comprehensive package designed to support your development, your wellbeing and your life outside of work too. In addition to a minimum starting salary of £35,000, you'll benefit from: A minimum of 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays, with agile working options subject to discussion with your manager Generous pension and employee share schemes Flexible benefits, including cycle to work scheme, discounts Wellbeing support, covering mental, physical, financial, and social wellbeing, with services like our Employee Assistance Programme, digital GP service, and health checks. You'll also have the chance to get involved in our STEM outreach activities and volunteering opportunities. What do you need to apply? We accept degrees in Naval Architecture, Ship Science, Maritime/Marine Engineering, Marine Technology, and Ship Building. A degree accredited by RINA/IMarEST is preferred.

We provide through-life support for submarines, surface ships and associated systems and equipment as part of our continuing commitment to support our nation's naval capability. While you'll join a specific business area and location, placements at different sites across the UK are possible. Agile working is supported, but you'll be expected to work on-site multiple times a week. We encourage flexibility and openness to relocation throughout the programme and will consider your personal circumstances when arranging placements. Ready to apply?
