At WS Training, people are at the heart of everything we do.

Every day, we meet individuals from all walks of life who are looking to take their next step. Whether that's finding their first job, gaining new qualifications, changing careers, or simply rebuilding their confidence.

Our role is to help them get there.

We know that starting something new can be daunting. Many of the people who come through our doors have faced challenges that have made finding work or accessing training more difficult.

It could be a learner gaining the confidence to attend an interview, an apprentice securing a permanent role, or someone achieving a qualification they never thought possible. Those moments are what drive us as an organisation.

We're also proud to work alongside employers across the region, helping them develop skilled, motivated teams while creating opportunities for local people. Strong businesses and strong communities go hand in hand, and we are passionate about playing our part in both.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for people who share our values and want to make a positive impact. Working at WS Training isn't just about having a job; it's about helping others achieve their potential and being part of a team that genuinely cares.

We're proud of the role we play in helping people move forward, and we're excited about the difference we can continue to make in the years ahead.

Join Us To Drive Forward Dodderhill’s Developing Future

Amber Valley has a mix of communities in and around our four major towns and numerous villages, each with their individual challenges.

Significant areas of the borough are rural with the Derbyshire Dales to the north and the two cities of Derby and Nottingham within easy reach. So, if you like variety you’ll enjoy working at Amber Valley.

Are you a strategic thinker with a strong leadership presence? Resilient when faced with challenge? Able to inspire, communicate clearly and drive meaningful change at the sharp end of local government?

At this time of change within local government, Dodderhill Parish Council, based in Wychbold, Worcestershire, is seeking an experienced and proactive Clerk who thinks like an Executive Officer, to lead its operations and strategic initiatives. This pivotal role as the ‘engine of the council’, offers a rewarding challenge – ensuring the Council functions effectively, meets statutory obligations, and delivers exceptional services to the community in a changing local government environment.

If you are organised, community-focused and ready to work within this key position, we invite you to apply.

Contact the Acting Clerk via: clerk@dodderhill-pc.gov.uk if you would like to talk it through or have questions. We look forward to hearing from you!

Like the borough, our pollution control workload is varied and involves working with a range of individuals and businesses to deliver the best possible outcomes for our residents and communities. We have a small, dedicated team who work independently and with others to ensure that our communities are protected from the negative impacts of pollution.

The Pollution Control team investigates complaints of statutory nuisance, responds to planning consultations, regulates Part A2 and B permitted processes, monitors air quality, oversees the contaminated land regime under Part II A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, and receives licence applications to comment on. It also looks into pest infestations, drainage problems and accumulations of waste on land. It’s a wide range of work and we are therefore looking for someone who is flexible and can demonstrate the pragmatism re‐ quired to get things done and problem solve.

To manage the team, you will need to have the technical knowledge to advise team members, the time management skills to prioritise your work and the teams, and the people skills to diplomatically communicate with a wide range of service users. To support you the Council provides flexible hours and hybrid working, a casual user car allowance, free office parking, personal and professional development opportunities, and access to the local government pension scheme.

Ar Cúram Residential Child Care Service Our Commitment to Transforming Lives Ar Cúram is a dedicated independent care provider delivering high-quality residential care and support to vulnerable children and young people aged 8 to 17. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide children and families referred by Local Authorities with the care, stability, and support they need while remaining connected to their communities, schools, families, and friendship networks.

Since opening our first home, The Willows in Eaglescliffe, in November 2018, Ar Cúram has grown steadily in response to local need. Today, we operate a portfolio of children's homes across Teesside, South Tyneside, and Scotland, including The Beeches (Redcar), The Oaks (Thornaby), The Maples (New Marske), The Elms (Elmtree), The Braes (Kilmarnock), and The Cedars (South Shields), with an additional home in Boldon currently awaiting registration. Our homes are registered with Ofsted to provide care for between two and five children, enabling us to deliver highly personalised, nurturing environments where young people can thrive.

At the heart of Ar Cúram is the vision and leadership of Zak McIlhargey, Managing Director and Responsible Individual, who oversees all aspects of operational management across the organisation's homes. With more than thirty years of experience within social care, social work, education, charitable organisations, local authorities, and the independent sector, Zak has an established reputation for developing and leading services recognised as Outstanding and Excellent. His passion for improving outcomes for young people continues to shape the values, culture, and standards that define Ar Cúram today.

Ar Cúram provides an exceptional level of care, support, and commitment to the children and young people entrusted to us. Our residential childcare services are built upon genuine compassion, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the complex challenges faced by vulnerable children. We are committed to creating environments where young people feel safe, valued, respected, and empowered to achieve their full potential.

Central to our philosophy is trauma-informed practice, which underpins every aspect of our care. Supported by our Clinical Psychologist, Dr Marie Holmes, we recognise that many children entering residential care have experienced trauma, adversity, abuse, neglect, loss, or disrupted attachments. Rather than focusing solely on behaviours, we seek to understand the experiences that lie behind them. Our approach encourages staff to ask, "What has happened to this child?" rather than "What is wrong with this child?"

What truly sets Ar Cúram apart is the quality of these relationships. Our teams consistently go above and beyond to support young people through life's challenges, celebrating achievements, encouraging aspirations, and providing unwavering support during difficult times. The homes we create are warm, welcoming, and child-centred, offering the stability and security that children need to heal, grow, and succeed.

Our commitment to excellence is evident throughout every level of service delivery. From safeguarding and care planning to staff development, therapeutic support, and continuous improvement, Ar Cúram is dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for every young person in our care. Our focus is not simply on providing accommodation but on creating opportunities, building confidence, strengthening relationships, and helping children develop the skills they need for a successful future.

Ar Cúram is an organisation that genuinely changes lives. Through compassionate leadership, highly skilled staff, and a steadfast commitment to trauma-informed care, we provide children and young people with the support, stability, and opportunities they need to thrive. We are proud to be a trusted partner of Local Authorities and a positive force in the lives of vulnerable children, families, and communities.
