This is your opportunity to work at the intersection of health and social care, applying your expertise to support individuals with complex needs through focused, short-term interventions.

We’re looking for Social Care Workers who are:

• Confident in complex assessments and decision-making
• Skilled in navigating health and social care systems
• Motivated by challenge and innovation
• Committed to person-centred, strengths-based practice
