Lincolnshire County Council's adult social care service is recognised for its high-quality support-we've been rated GOOD across the board by the CQC, and we're proud of it!

These positions have opened up because our colleagues have moved up the ladder, which could be you next!

When it comes to caring for our patients, we're calm under pressure and courageous in tackling any challenge that comes our way.

But what really makes us shine is our team spirit! We've got a bingo addict who's always up for a laugh, a DIY enthusiast who can build anything, and a baker who keeps us fueled with delicious treats. We've got a die-hard ice hockey fan, a theatre-goer with flair, and an Arsenal fanatic who never misses a match. From the garden to the pitch, we're a lively bunch who love sharing our passions and making work an exciting place to be.

We're more than colleagues - we're a team that motivates and supports each other through every challenge. If you want to be part of a group that's not only incredibly skilled but also knows how to have a good time, this is the place for you!

A Bit About You:
