That’s according to the latest Social Work and Wider Workforce Health Checks, annual surveys which assess the health and wellbeing of social workers and other frontline practitioners within Adult Social Care.
They found that practitioners feel supported by learning and development opportunities and by good quality, regular supervision which helps them to ensure they are providing the right support to adults in the city, while also being able to discuss their own wellbeing.
A report due to go to Adult Scrutiny Panel today (Tuesday 25 March, 2025) also shows that, once again, the majority of staff across the service have a strong sense of pride in the job that they do – and would recommend the council as an employer to their friends and family.
Councillor Jasbir Jaspal, the council’s Cabinet Member for Adults and Wellbeing, said: “I would like to extend my thanks for the fantastic work all of our staff in Adult Social Care do for people in our city.
“Wolverhampton continues to be a place where social care practitioners and social workers can make a real difference to the lives of adults with care and support needs, and carers.
“We have actions already in place to further support our social workers and wider workforce this coming year. However, we will continue to offer regular opportunities for staff to give their feedback on what is working well and also where we can improve as this is an ongoing open dialogue that does not have to wait for the next annual survey."
