Adult Services
Welcome to Adult Social Care!
We are a dynamic and varied service which knows that the key to enabling people to have greater independence and control over their lives is by working in collaboration with others and applying the principles of prevention, sustainability and best value.
Social work can be challenging, multifaceted but a rewarding role and we recognise the importance of equipping you with the tools to enable you to develop meaning relationships and find sustainable solutions. We offer great development opportunities and have many examples of excellent career progression throughout the service.
I am very proud of our service and the great work we are doing across all our partners to build community capacity and resilience, we do hope you apply for one of our roles.
