About the role
Our vision for the people we work with is for them to lead full and active lives where they are supported to be independent as far as they can be. We want people to have choice and control over the services and support they receive and have access to services that use resources creatively. To help us to achieve our vision we focus on making Adult Social Care a place where people want to work and feel supported to deliver quality practice so they can focus on people first.
About us
Enchanting Cotswold villages, picturesque countryside backdrops, and a never‑ending selection of exciting days out, attractions and events; Gloucestershire really does have something for everyone. Gloucestershire is the perfect place to live and work with a great mix of rural and city locations.
About you
Our values are at the heart of everything we do and how we treat each other. They provide essential guiding principles about the way that we work and set the tone for our culture, and identify what we, as an organisation, care about. If you hold the same behaviours and approach, then we want to hear from you! In exchange, we will provide you with full training and support to help you succeed in your role. You must hold a full driving licence and have the willingness to drive (exceptions under the Equality Act may apply).
