Sandwell Council has been named the ‘Most Improved Council’ at this year’s Local Government Chronicle (LGC) Awards. Join our team!
“We’re really proud of the progress we’ve made in recent years. Winning this prestigious award is fantastic recognition of the positive impact the improvements we’ve made are now having for our residents.
Our adult social care services have been rated ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission this year, and Ofsted judged children’s services in Sandwell as ‘Good’ last year through our partnership with Sandwell Children’s Trust.
This is just the start, and we are committed to making real changes which will benefit our residents and our borough for generations to come.
If you share our ambition to make a difference and want to be part of a council that is transforming services and improving outcomes for communities, I encourage you to join our team. Together, we can continue building a brighter future for Sandwell and deliver the high-quality services our residents deserve.”
