The role of Principal Social Worker ensures a focus on excellent practice across Adult Social Care, influencing and driving policy, procedure and business processes that work for frontline staff to deliver quality support to individuals, families, and carers. Leading on quality and co-production across the service.
As a smaller authority our work is more personal, with a real sense of being a part of a team working together to affect real change at all levels within our organisation.
What sets us apart is our positive strategy, can-do attitude, and strong vision of what we can be and what we can achieve. Our front-line practice supports a strength and asset-based approach, using a community led support ethos which strengthens individuals and communities alike.

We value the experiences and skills of individuals, their carers and the people important to them who access adult social care services. We work with experts by their experience to shape, develop and influence services from our front door to policy and processes. We have developed a co-production framework highlighting our commitment to co-production and supporting our Making It Real Board (MIRB).
Our innovative early prevention offer with our established Independent Living Centre (ILC) and Virtual House allows our residents to maximise their own independence. Our strength-based practice ensures we promote assistive technology and digital solutions throughout every conversation.
We support a range of partnership boards which are co-chaired by experts by their experience at a strategic and operational level. We have excellent partnerships both internally and externally including health, community, voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) and local providers of care and support. This is supported strategically through the Telford & Wrekin Integrated Place Partnership.
Our Service Delivery Managers work closely with operational teams in the service and take pride in being a visible and accessible leadership team.
