Social care provision is particularly important because it has the potential to embrace a strong preventative emphasis as well as meeting assessed needs and fulfilling agreed outcomes. The responsiveness, flexibility and effectiveness of our social care arrangements will not only have an impact on an individual’s wellbeing but also on wider systemic performance and outcomes
We are looking to increase our services to enable people to remain in, or return to their own homes, living as independently as possible and to maintain or promote their potential in relation to physical, intellectual, emotional, and social capacity. The provider will work in collaboration with the Health & Social Care Partnership and other private organisations to help us deliver our strategic plan and provide high-quality, person-centred care based on enablement and positive outcomes.
