Are you passionate about helping people live independently and achieve their goals? As a Social Care Practitioner, you will be at the heart of improving lives and wellbeing across Wiltshire. You will join a forward-thinking team that values creativity, collaboration, and professional growth - where your ideas truly matter.
In this rewarding role, you will manage your own caseload and work closely with customers, carers, and partner agencies to deliver person-centred care. Working collaboratively with Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, and multi-professional teams, you will promote independence, choice, and wellbeing using universal services and community resources.
As this is a fast-paced team, you will lean on your organisational ability to manage caseloads effectively and have excellent communication skills to be able to work collaboratively. In addition to a sound understanding of the Care Act 2014, you will hold an NVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care or equivalent or the ability to work towards this qualification and have experience of working within a Health or Social Care setting.
You will be providing outcome-focused assessments to identify the right support for positive life changes and creating and reviewing support plans that make a real difference. If you’re ready to bring your skills, compassion, and energy to a role that truly changes lives, apply today and start your journey with us!
Please note that this is a county-wide role and will involve travelling.

Wiltshire Council does not accept unsolicited CVs or candidate details from recruitment agencies that are not appointed under a current, valid contract or approved supplier arrangement (including through our neutral vendor, Comensura).
Submission of unsolicited CVs or candidate details to the Council, whether directly or to individual employees, will not be considered as an introduction and will not create any obligation on the Council to pay any fees. If a candidate whose details have been submitted speculatively is subsequently appointed through a compliant route, no agency fee will be payable in respect of the unsolicited submission.
Agencies wishing to work with the Council must do so only via our approved procurement processes and neutral vendor arrangements.
