Social Care Practitioners are required to work collaboratively with colleagues from different teams, disciplines and partner organisations in order to provide a seamless service to individuals/families/carers.

They will help to protect vulnerable adults from harm or abuse and support people to optimise their choices in order to live as independently as possible.

The Social Care Practitioner will ensure they acquire and improve their knowledge and skills and contribute to the learning and development of other members of team as well as themselves.
