The Community Led Support Team (CLS) works with citizens across the Borough undertaking both Care Act Assessments and Reviews for those who receive a commissioned service. CLS work alongside health and community partners to deliver support that maximises independence, promotes individual strength and enhances community connection.
The Community Led Support Team (CLS) is a diverse and fast paced team with a variety of team-members including Assistant Care Managers, Social Workers, Experienced Social Workers and Advanced Social Workers. Also working alongside Occupational Therapists and other partners. The varying experience within the team adds to culture of support and professional growth. Whilst also providing an excellent opportunity for variety and scope for continuing professional development.
There is a current opportunity for Experienced Social workers to join the team.
Our transformation journey

As an organisation we know our Adults’ Services are on a rapid improvement journey which is why last year we started making big changes across the service to provide the best care for adults in Swindon and great conditions for our staff. This started with us recruiting an entirely new leadership team of experienced, forward thinking managers who are driving changes in the service and we aim to be one of the best Adults’ Services in the country.
