What we do

Wakefield Council has four teams, which are in the north, east, south and west areas of Wakefield.

The teams are made up of the following people.

Social Workers - Their role is to carry out an assessment of your needs, arrange services and visit you to make sure everything is going well.

Community Nurses - They carry out an assessment of your health needs and help you look after yourself.  They offer advice and information on how to stay healthy and support you on where to go when you are feeling unwell.

Healthcare Support Worker - They support the Community Nurses to ensure your health needs are met and help you to look after yourself.
