We work with a variety of people over the age of 18 who have the need for social work intervention. We are looking for a highly motivated, registered social worker to join our expanding Adult Community Team. We are proud and committed to working alongside people and their carers, to enable them to lead more independent and fulfilling lives, as part of their local communities.
