At the award-winning City of Wolverhampton Council, we work restoratively with people, building
strong relationships and making connections to help them find long-lasting solutions that are right

do. We are committed to celebrating uniqueness and promoting independence, wellbeing and
safety.

 empowering people by providing the right information and advice to help make decisions and

to hear from you!
At the award-winning City of Wolverhampton Council, we work restoratively with people, building
strong relationships and making connections to help them find long-lasting solutions that are right
for them using the Three Conversations© approach. At the heart of this way of working is having a

them. But it’s also about innovation, creativity and professional autonomy.
Our vision in Adult Services is that the individuals we support will be at the centre of everything we
do. We are committed to celebrating uniqueness and promoting independence, wellbeing and

a clear development pathway alongside a substantial training and development offer which is
varied and responsive to practice challenges. Our senior managers and leaders are visible and
