Join our Adult Social Care Hospital Team, where we work with some of our most vulnerable residents using a compassionate, strength-based approach that keeps each person firmly at the centre of their care. Here, our social workers have the time and space to build meaningful relationships and truly understand the individuals they support.

We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a Social Worker to join us on a full-time, permanent basis.

At Bracknell Forest, we pride ourselves on being a council which is stable and well-managed where our employees can thrive in a supportive environment. We understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance and offer a variety of flexible working practices, including options for remote working and arrangements that allow you to work from home, dependent on the needs of the service.
