Our people are our greatest asset in providing excellent services and we are not complacent in knowing what that takes. We have a committed and dedicated workforce, whose efforts we value and reward with flexibility, career progression and the option to work in a wide variety of settings. We also know that it is important to build on our team’s strengths by recruiting people who are eager to develop their skills, knowledge, experience and qualifications. Perhaps this is why our staff turnover rate is lower than the national average.
But we know that we can be even better. That is why we are always looking for new ways to reward our people, to develop them and to ensure they are confident and able to achieve within their roles. We continue to invest in innovative technology, consider new ways of working, and remain up to date with advances in learning and development. Furthermore, we work hard to ensure that we are communicating well with our workforce, and its service users, to support our efforts to deliver the very best social care services to be found anywhere in the country. We know, by doing all of this for our people, we will be in the best position to improve lives across Devon.
Whether you are interested in social work with children, young people and families, or working with adults in the community, Devon has something special to offer.
