There are so many reasons to build your career with Norfolk County Council Adult Social Services. Working with adults aged 18+ across our urban, rural and coastal communities means you’ll be part of a service where the difference you make is visible, valued, and truly life‑changing.
We’re evolving the way we work through a Human Learning Systems approach — focusing on relationships, understanding people’s lived experiences, and learning together. This means our Social Workers have the freedom to work creatively, responsively and humanly with the people and communities they support.
Our work is grounded in relational practice. We focus on what matters to the person, we listen deeply, build trust, and work alongside people to help them live the lives they want.
To build meaningful relationships with the people we support, this role requires regular in-person work in both the office and community.
Through Community‑Led Support, we strengthen the connections around individuals, drawing on local assets, networks and partnerships to support wellbeing and independence. We empower Social Workers to think differently, try new approaches, and shape solutions with people — not for them.
Adult Social Services in Norfolk is on an ambitious, exciting transformation journey. We're redesigning how we work to create a system that is flexible, human, and focused on better outcomes. As part of this journey, you'll contribute to an environment where learning is continuous, insight is shared, and innovation is encouraged.

We’re honest about the challenges, but we’re equally committed to supporting you to meet them — and to celebrating the rewards that come with making a real difference in people’s lives.
If you're a qualified and dedicated social worker and want to feel part of an organisation which makes a positive difference to those living in Norfolk, we would love to hear from you.
