Advanced Occupational Therapist - Advice and Contact Service

In Wiltshire, we believe that prevention is better than crisis so we have been working to transform the way adult social care is provided. This means focusing on rapid response and information at the first point of contact, effective reablement and working with our partners to build on the strengths of our customers and the communities in which they live.

At the same time as helping people to take informed risks to live the life they choose we continue to build on our good reputation for helping people to stay safe.

LIVE???WORK???SUPPORT

The Advice and Contact Team is the front door to adult social care in Wiltshire.
