Adults

Despite Dorset having the largest population of older people per capita in the country, our transformation work over the last 2 years has seen us move to a position of planned and efficient social care services. Focusing on digital innovation, personalised care through robust data management, and collaboration with local partners, we are able to deliver the right care at the right time and in the right place. This gives us a sustainable financial future. 

Working in Adult Social Care at Dorset Council is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Putting people of the heart of everything you do, you will have the opportunity to work closely with individuals and their families, providing practical support and assistance that makes a real difference in their lives.
