Social services need volunteers

VOLUNTEERS are needed to sit on a social services panel. Swindon social services needs a chairman, vice-chairman and members for its adult placement service panel.

The service recruits single people and families in the community to provide care, support and accommodation to vulnerable adults.

The panel approves prospective carers, reviews carers each year and makes decisions on serious complaints made against carers.

Full induction and training will be given.

Anyone is welcome to apply to be on the panel but social services particularly wants to hear from family carers, disabled people, people from black and minority groups and service users.

For an application form or more information contact Nicky Ashfield or Nathan Browne on 01793 486210 or email nbrowne@swindon.gov.uk
