As a Social Worker, you will work with a diverse range of individuals supporting them to live the life they choose.

Experience in S117 or Continuing Healthcare is not essential, as full training will be provided to help you develop within this specialist area.
This is an exciting opportunity to join an Award-Winning Local Authority, and a service that currently scores third highest in the country following our recent CQC inspection, and we were especially proud to be rated 'Outstanding' for how we learn, improve, and come up with new ideas. This reflects our commitment to supporting our social workers to grow, share ideas, and deliver the very best outcomes for the people we support.
You'll be joining a friendly, supportive team that values collaboration and care. Whether you're new to the role or bringing years of experience, you'll be welcomed, encouraged, and supported to do your best work and make a real difference.
Wokingham Borough Council is proud to support , a movement working to change how we think about social care. Its goal is simple: everyone should be able to live in a place they call home, with the people and things they love, in communities that care and help them do what matters most.
