Wiltshire Council is proposing changes to how it funds certain day services for adults with learning disabilities and older people as new opportunities for providing these services emerge.

The Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre has launched an updated, more intuitive version of its Wiltshire Community History website. With a more modern feel, the site gives users the opportunity to gain a greater understanding and connection to the place where they or their ancestors lived.

Residents at Furlong Close will continue to access care and support as usual while the future provision at the site is determined.

Taking a career break, having a family or working in a different field are all reasons why some qualified social workers move away from the profession. This latest recruitment drive aims to help qualified Social Workers to return to work at Wiltshire Council.
