We’re excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a qualified Social Worker to join our dedicated Adult Social Care Team here at Wokingham Borough Council, on a full‑time, permanent basis.
As a Social Worker, you will work with a diverse range of individuals supporting them to live the life they choose. You’ll focus on what individuals can do, not just what support they need whilst getting to know the people you work with and what matters most to them. The work you do will enable carers to continue in their caring roles for as long as they choose and are able to.
You will act as a key link between Primary Care Networks, General Practitioners and Health and Social Care. An integral part of the role will be to offer greater availability to support the Primary Care Network’s, creating more access to guidance, joint‑working and problem resolution.
Wokingham Borough Council is proud to support SocialCareFuture, a movement working to change how we think about social care. Its goal is simple: everyone should be able to live in a place they call home, with the people and things they love, in communities that care and help them do what matters most.
