Wiltshire Council are celebrating social workers this week, with Social Work Week, aiming to bring experienced workers back to the workplace.
Social workers in the county have been sharing the reasons why they enjoy working for the council.
Kerry Davies, a social worker in adult social care said:
“I’ve worked in different areas of Wiltshire Council for over ten years, and I’ve been given great opportunities to progress, including completing my social work qualification.
“Wiltshire Council has high aims for the people we support. There are lots of different teams across adult services and each team has a particular responsibility and vision, but we all work together to promote people’s wellbeing.”
Ian Roberts, who is head of service with Wiltshire Council, said:
“I have been regularly and repeatedly amazed at the dedication, competence and creativity shown by my colleagues. Time after time I have seen colleagues go above and beyond to help the more vulnerable members of our community.”
Social Work Week takes place from Monday 20 to Friday 24 March 2023 with the aim of bringing people together to learn, connect and influence change.
