Our most valuable asset

Adult Care's workforce is our most valuable asset and we are proud of what we do to support some of the most vulnerable members of our communities and to drive the development and delivery of effective care and support to people.

We don't make things; we don't sell things; we are in the 'business' of people and relationships. Our desire to do well for people, to help them empower themselves and the satisfaction of having a positive impact on their lives, often at their most difficult of times, is why we work in this sector. That same desire is what drives our commitment to continually support our workforce to improve and grow.

Here is what some of our staff have to say….

As a newly qualified social worker in 2018 I was looking for an employer who was able to provide support through my Assessed and Supported year of employment (ASYE).

The ASYE course at ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ enabled me to grow into the role of a social worker; offering continued support from both experienced social workers and those who were at the same point in their career.

During my time at ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ I have been able to gain experience in a supportive environment.  ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ has encouraged me to continue to grow as a social worker and I have recently been progressed from Level 1 to level 2.

The benefits of working for ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ are that they are a progressive employer who support employees and provide opportunities to undertake continued professional development.

Such opportunities include the social work apprenticeship scheme and ASYE to more advanced opportunities such as the Approved Mental Health Practitioner and Practice Educator roles.

I have been working for ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ for 4 years now, originally in Business Support. After a year in this role, I had the opportunity become a Community Care Officer for the Market Rasen Team, Adult Care and Community Wellbeing. Throughout my time as part of the team, I have had a wealth of support from management and colleagues. ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ have provided me with excellent career development opportunities and I have been fully supported throughout my journey. Management have been very supportive and encouraging which has meant I have had the privilege to apply for and start my Apprenticeship for the Social Work Degree with the University of Lincoln.

Working as part of the Adult Care and Community Wellbeing Team can be a challenging and diverse role but also extremely rewarding, supporting those most vulnerable in our communities. I have the opportunity for hybrid working which means I have a good personal and professional work-life balance and I work part of a great team.

I can wholeheartedly say I love my job and I am truly grateful for the opportunities ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ has provided me to progress my professional development and career.

I have work for ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ for 23 years in various roles. In 2018 I was privileged to be offered the opportunity to do my social work degree which I completed in 2022. I remained working in my area team throughout my training where I received huge support and encouragement from my colleagues and managers.  I then went on to complete my ASYE in 2023 as a newly qualified social worker.  

I am now currently on secondment from my substantive post, in a level 2 social work position within the Physical Disabilities Specialist Team. This is a great opportunity for me personally and for the people within Lincolnshire as we set up a new service for those living with physical disabilities. We hope to improve the quality of lives for people who face additional challenges and to provide opportunities for them to live fulfilling and meaningful lives which I am so excited to be part of.
