Description

About Us:


Adult Social Care in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where our passionate, caring and committed professionals do brilliant work every day.
Mrs D was frail and unwell. Her son was her main carer, but he wasn't coping. We stepped in to help, but they were hostile to outside agencies. They'd always lived together and were terrified they'd be split up.

Our social worker did a great job persuading Mrs D to get hospital treatment and a temporary stay in a care home.

In an epic effort throughout COVID, she gained the son's trust and sorted all the repairs, carers and nurses needed so that Mrs D could come home to live with her son.

We also got Mr D regular respite and a personal budget awarded in recognition of him as her carer. After all, there's nothing more important than living the life you want.

As a council, we want to enable service users to participate in recreational, educational, and social programmes. And that starts with effective and clear leadership. You'll focus on using a people-centric approach to everything you do in order to improve and maintain our services. A vital part of this role is creating secondary benefits for service users. Think employability, reduction of re-admission rates into hospitals and better community participation. That's where you come in

Taking the lead on the strategic direction of the service, representing us in meetings, creating space for supervision and appraisal, and ensuring our technology is up to date.
