Adult Social Care in West Berkshire

We are looking for colleagues who are passionate about supporting adults and know the importance of developing relationships and building on individuals’ strengths.

It is vital for our staff to have determination and high aspirations for the adults we support and their families and communities.

West Berkshire Council was a pioneer in adopting the strength based approach to our work. The key principles recognise that:

• People are experts in their own lives and we will work collaboratively with them
• Our approach begins with a focus on their strengths and how we can build on them
• We will work to ensure that individuals can maintain the maximum independence possible.

Supportive teams are key to our success and we recognise that working in a frontline team is demanding and to be effective, teams need manageable caseloads with good supervision and additional support when required.

West Berkshire Council offers flexible working with a combination of home-based and office-based work, dependent on the role.
