The Social Work Service is responsible for arranging social care services for people and communities in Fife. Every day, the Social Work Service makes a real difference to people's lives at times of personal or family need. Over 23,000 people received a service at some time in the last year. Users of services are of all ages and from all parts of the community.
The Service seeks to provide the necessary support for people to remain in their own home and community, it protects and supports children, older people and adults and helps offenders to change their offending behaviour.
Social Work is a large and complex organisation carrying out a variety of duties and tasks. Much of the work we do is governed by legislation. Overall responsibility for all aspects of the Service lies with the Executive Director, Social Work, who is also the Council's Chief Social Work Officer.
The Executive Director, as a member of the Council's Management Team, is accountable for the overall strategic leadership and management of the Social Work Service.
