Our experienced teams have strong connections with the local community and the people and the families they support. We invest in building the strong multidisciplinary partnerships needed to get the right results. Working with the Learning Disability and Autism Service means a varied day.

You’ll bring: - experience of social work, modelling good practice and providing advice and guidance in complex situations - a comprehensive understanding of current legislation, regulations, and guidance - experience of chairing meetings involving clients, family members, carers, and other multi-agency professionals - the ability to develop strong relationships with partner agencies and the local community to provide a supportive framework for vulnerable adults.
The team: Our staff are our greatest resource and with you in our team, we can achieve the authority's priorities of enabling everyone to live long, healthy, fulfilling lives whilst safeguarding the most vulnerable people in Suffolk. We work to a strength-based practice model and would encourage you to apply for our roles if you think you have the same values so we can continue with this approach to help empower Suffolk residents.
Empowering Everyone: We’re big believers in potential, possibility and the power of different ideas. We’re always searching for ways to encourage, respect and enable everyone to be the best they can be. We want to represent the diverse communities we serve.
