Caseloads and supervision

We're committed to making sure all social workers’ caseloads are safe and manageable. We will make sure you receive excellent reflective supervision. 

Our Adult Services ranked number one in the south west in the LGA Social Work Health Check in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Our mental health Social Work teams ranked number one both regionally and nationally in 2022.  

We recognise the importance in helping social workers feeling empowered to

  • exercise their own professional judgment
  • take positive risks and;
  • make autonomous decisions to help people achieve their desired outcomes. 

All the council's Adult Social Work is overseen by our dedicated Principal Social Worker. It is their job to promote excellent social work practice and ensure the team's voice is heard throughout the organisation.
