Our approach is collaborative. You will work with health services, substance misuse providers, the DWP, Probation, Housing and other partners to ensure residents receive the right support at the right time. We are proud of our culture of Growth, Inclusion, Collaboration and Compassion, which shapes how we work as One Team and how we show up for residents and for each other.
