A note from Claire Edgar, Executive Director of Adults, Wellbeing and Health Partnerships
“Thank you for considering ßÙßÇÂþ» for the next step in your adult social care career. Every day, our teams support people to live safely, stay independent and make their own choices about how they live. Our services offer a wide range of roles - including in community, hospital and specialist teams - all working together to support our core aim of supporting people to live their best lives, with no one left behind. Drawing on my own background and experience as a social worker, I’ve seen the positive difference that strengths-based practice and least-restrictive principles can make in people’s lives. That ethos is central to how we work and guides our approach to support and decision-making across adult social care.
We’re a diverse and open team that values flexibility, collaboration and professional development. Many of our colleagues choose to build long-term careers with us - a reflection of the support and opportunities for development we offer. Whether you’re just starting out, or are looking to take your next step, you’ll find a working environment here in ßÙßÇÂþ» where colleagues are supported to thrive, progress and make a real impact for the residents we serve. Thanks for taking the time to find out more. If you’d like to take things further or need more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.”
Our Vision
Our new operating model is designed to ensure every resident receives timely, consistent, and strengths-based support—so that no one is left behind. By streamlining access, embedding best practice, and connecting people to their communities, we aim to deliver equitable, high-quality outcomes for all.
This transformation is about putting the right people, with the right skills and values, in the right place to make a real difference. The model brings together Connect to Community (C2C) and Area Teams, creating a seamless journey for residents:
- Connect to Community (C2C) Teams act as the first point of response, offering urgent assessments, safeguarding, and support planning. With a multidisciplinary approach, daily case reviews, and direct links to services like technology enabled care (TEC), reablement, and housing advice, C2C ensures residents get the right help quickly and efficiently.
- Area Teams provide continuity for those with longer-term or complex needs, building on C2C’s work to deliver person-centred care, Care Act assessments, reviews, and safeguarding. By reducing handoffs and focusing on proactive case management, Area Teams help residents live fulfilling, independent lives.
Together, these teams create a joined-up, resident-focused service that maximises independence, reduces risk, and promotes wellbeing across our communities.
A career in Adult Social Care is more than you might think..
