About Us

At Warwickshire County Council (WCC) we work with Older People and their families / carers building strong relationships and connections to help citizens find long-lasting solutions.  Our work contributes to our wider County Council aim – to make Warwickshire the best it can be for everyone.  It’s a big responsibility that can be challenging at times, but this is what drives our staff to succeed, develop and achieve.

Throughout 2020 / 21 we continue to look to the future and build on our personalisation agenda in the service.... Covid hasn’t stopped us! 

It has helped us shape and develop a focus on wellbeing, utilising technology, opening opportunities for career development and renewed our focus on reflective and supportive leadership.  These are the backbone to our offer to our workforce.   

WCC invested in Microsoft technology in 2019 which has enabled our workforce to seamlessly transition to homeworking.  We have a whole council commitment to agile working and employee wellbeing.  We nurture, support, and challenge each other to achieve the best outcomes for all our citizens.

We provide safe and manageable caseloads and have provided substantial additional capacity to support teams with Covid pressures.
