Social care careers
in Shropshire
Welcome to social work and social care at Shropshire Council
Whatever your role, wherever you join us, you’ll thrive as part of an organisation that puts people at the heart of everything we do. The vulnerable people we look after, of course. But also the social workers, residential care workers, managers, occupational therapists and absolutely everybody else who is committed to helping the people of Shropshire live healthy, fulfilled and independent lives.
You’ll also join a council that’s transforming. We’re changing the way we deliver care, using new ideas, new tech and new ways of working. We’re constantly challenging ourselves to do better. We believe in one another, and support and encourage everyone to think, act and work differently.
We’re proud of who we are and what we do. But we’ll never rest on our laurels. That’s why everything we do is always and will always be about the care: the work, the benefits, the support, the opportunities for you to take your career and make it what you need it to be.
We’re here for you. As a council. As fellow professionals. But most of all as people.
It’s all about the care
Care means challenging ourselves to find new ways to achieve better outcomes for the people we support. Coming up with fresh ideas for old problems. Caring for one another as colleagues. Knowing your managers support you and back your decisions. Care means excellent, ongoing training to make the most of your career. Care means using new technology to give people their independence. Care is all about feeling looked after, so you can develop your own practice. Care means a sense of personal and professional fulfilment, every single day. Care’s all about giving vulnerable people their voice. Care means holiday pay and sick pay. Care turns your career into whatever you want it to become. Care means being trusted to make a positive difference to people’s lives, every single day. That’s what we mean when we say we’re all about the care. What does care mean to you?
