Message from Georgia Chimbani
Thank you for your interest in Suffolk County Council and Adult Social Care. Now is a great time to look at joining us.
We have an ambitious corporate strategy with health and wellbeing as a core objective, and we are launching the delivery phase of our exciting new People at the Heart of Care strategy that will deliver 4 key outcomes:
- Independence
- Quality
- Sustainability
- People’s Voices
We have big ambitions for Adult Social Care that must be delivered in partnership with the NHS, District Councils and other partners. You will play a strategic role across the county, ensuring that we make a real and sustainable difference to the lives of residents.
We’re committed to innovation and have bold ambitions around personalisation and co-production. We are exceptionally proud of Cassius, our award-winning digital offer and our overall ‘good’ rating from a recent CQC pilot. In addition, we have an award-winning Assessed and Supported Year in Employment programme that has seen our employees win 2 years running (2022 and 2023) at the Social Worker of the Year awards.
You will join a forward-thinking, pro-active team in Suffolk working across health and social care who are committed to delivering sustainable services that reflect the needs of our population.
You will need to be committed and willing to explore new and innovative ways of doing things, lead and develop strategic change and bring a diverse range of staff and providers with you as you do so.
In return, we offer a fantastic, supportive and inclusive working environment including diverse and active staff networks, with great flexible working options and many other benefits – not least a real opportunity to make a difference and improve the lives of our residents.
If you share our vision and are looking for a place where you can really make a difference, we want to hear from you!
I look forward to receiving your application.
