ABOUT US

We are working in partnership across the town to shape a health and social care system to be proud of, one that’s fit for the future and built to last.
We require the very best social work professionals on board with a strengths based approach to the delivery of high quality care and support. Our social workers make a huge difference day in, day out, and our organisation is playing a leading role in efforts to deliver the truly joined up health and social care services the people of Warrington need and deserve.
