What is it like to work in our team?

Our adult social care service is made up of highly professional and helpful multidisciplinary teams. We have a “can do” and “no wrong door” philosophy. Our social care teams collaborate and go above and beyond to ensure that our residents receive the care they require.

We collaborate closely with health and other partners to ensure that people do not travel to the hospital when they do not need to, and that if they do, they are only there when they are needed and may return home as soon and safely as possible.

Our Early Intervention and Rehabilitation services aim to keep people in their homes.

We have regular multidisciplinary forums, which allows our residents to easily access health and social care professionals that communicate with one another in order to give holistic support when needed.

We understand that working in Adult Social Care can be stressful, so we provide our employees with adequate support. You will have regular supervision and access to training. We place a major emphasis on helping our employees learn, grow, and develop in order to reach their full potential. We listen to our social care professionals about the best method to deliver our services and welcome criticism and recommendations on how we can work together better.

• Take an active role in your own supervision and appraisal, in accordance with the departmental supervision policy and the council appraisal policy.

• Generous annual leave starts at 28 days and increases to 33 days after three years of service (pro rata for part-time). With an additional yearly leave buy policy.
• A comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to support health and wellbeing.
• Regular possibilities for growth through internal and external training sessions.
