Job Code :
A Career in Social Care with Birmingham City Counc
A Career in Social Care with Birmingham City Council
Birmingham City Council is the largest council not only in the UK, but in the whole of Europe. We are responsible for the lives and welfare of over one million people.
We take our responsibilities very seriously, and to provide the best possible service to the community we are always on the lookout for talented people who can change the world with their compassion and depth of understanding.
Social care covers a wide area of needs across many departments, but to give it vision and focus we have defined it as having 7 desirable outcomes. These are:
• Improved Health
• Improved quality of life
• Making a positive contribution
• Choice and control
• Freedom from discrimination and harassment
• Economic well-being
• Personal dignity
Members of the community requiring care are from all walks of life and all ages. The problems, disadvantages and handicaps they face are as diverse as you would expect in any modern major city and call for a variety of skills and disciplines. What is common across all areas of social care work is the difference the right person can make, and the genuine satisfaction the job can offer when visible progress is made and goals are achieved.
The Directorate that deals with social care has been extensively restructured so as to provide staff with the right level of infrastructure to carry out their work in an environment where initiative is encouraged but support is always to hand
If you have been wondering whether a career in social work would be right for you, some of the qualities we look for include a natural ability to be compassionate and understanding, a willingness to meet and work with people from all parts of the community, and a natural aptitude for working with people.
If that sounds like you, please click below to make your application.
