This commitment has recently been recognised with North Lincolnshire Council named Local Authority of the Year at the 2026 MJ awards - one of the highest honours in local government. Judges praised the councils 'unwavering focus on delivering real outcomes for residents, underpinned by strong, visible and values driven leadership' We prioritise safeguarding the most vulnerable and ensuring people are safe, well, and connected within their communities. Our Adult Social Care services are high performing and nationally recognised and we are continuing to grow and develop our workforce to achieve the best possible outcomes for local people. We work with adults aged 18 and over, including people living with mental health needs, learning disabilities, neurodiversity, providing support tailored to their individual needs and circumstances.

Key responsibilities include managing a caseload of people who have care and support needs. You will work collaboratively with other teams, both internal and external, to ensure a good-quality service that is in line with our statutory responsibilities and established good working relationships. You will also be able to travel throughout North Lincolnshire independently as we cover all the North Lincolnshire area.
