About Us:
Adult Social Care is changing in South Tyneside. We are a forward-thinking Council that is developing innovative approaches to meet our challenges. Focusing on People, Place and Partnerships, this is a great time to join us. With our Council Leadership and a recent service review, we have coproduced a new 5-year Vision and Strategy for Adult Social Care to help support the next stage of our journey.
Our vision for the future is to see every person in South Tyneside with care and support needs “Living Better Lives”, to fully utilise their strengths and assets, to remain safe and well in the neighbourhoods and communities they call home.
We want to work with our partners to ensure the person only needs to tell their story once and that they have an equal voice in coordinating their care and support. We understand the importance of social justice and inclusion, respecting people’s rights, citizenship, and participation.
Joining us now will ensure you are at the forefront of helping to develop and embed co-production and co-delivery, delivering new models of working through our Adult Social Care framework and contributing to our ambitious plans to fully embed our strengths-based practice, improve services, and deliver better outcomes for the people of South Tyneside.
We remain fully committed to supporting our staff to grow and develop, providing you with the opportunity to use your skills and learn new ones. Through the development of our new Values and Behaviour Framework, we will fully support staff to become Curious, Accountable, Responsive, and Empowered (CARE).
