By sharing facilities and expertise with Hammersmith & Fulham and Westminster councils, we’re able to offer joined-up services for vulnerable adults that are constantly evolving and improving.

A key challenge will be leading and managing a team of  Social Workers and a Discharge Support Worker, with your co manager, as well as managing and controlling budgets for the provision of high-quality health and social care. Able to assess risk and make sound decisions, you will also ensure effective safeguarding at every step.
