Adults Social Care Services Rated "Good"
Were Proud that our Adults Social Care Services have recently been rated "Good" by the Care Quality Commission. Inspectors heard from residents who said our workforce is caring and compassionate, and praised the service they receive. People told us the Local Authority understood the care and support needs of the local communities and worked closely with partners to provide services to meet those needs.
If you are interested in joining our Adult Social Care Teams, you can view the 2024 - 2027 Adult Social Care Strategy via the link below. View current vacancies and sign up for job alerts on this site.
