Our remit is to work holistically and in collaboration with local services, service users, families/carers taking a strengths-based approach in accordance with the Care Act 2014 to promote independence and social inclusion.

We’re strong believers in empowering people and building on their strengths. Our strengths-based approach means our employees get more job satisfaction by enabling them to work alongside residents in an outcomes-focused way, using strengths-based, person-centred and evidenced-based practice.

You are expected to contribute to embedding a culture of strengths-based practice and Continuous Professional Development for staff to develop their skills as well as being responsible for maintaining and promoting your own professional growth and development.

If this sounds like you, and you share our drive and passion to improve lives, we’d love to hear from you.
