Why choose Surrey?
Simon White, Executive Director of Adult Social Care discusses many a reason why Surrey County Council can offer a Social Worker and Occupational Therapist a long-lasting and progressive career choice. With many development opportunities available at all roles within the Social Worker and Occupational Therapy teams, this linked together with ongoing support for our employees and their wellbeing means Surrey is a friendly and encouraging place to work. Simon explains why he would love Social Workers and Occupational Therapists to consider Surrey in his video below.
