You will promote customer independence, choice, and well-being in the community, using universal services and support where appropriate.

This is a challenging role, and you will be supported, Social Workers and highly experienced peer Social Care practitioners.

This role is fast-paced so you should be able to manage caseloads effectively and have excellent communication skills to be able to work collaboratively with multi professional teams.
