From the City Fringe, Brick Lane and Whitechapel to Canary Wharf and the River, it’s all happening here in Tower Hamlets. With its unique history, Tower Hamlets has an exceptionally vibrant and diverse community.

Adult Social Care in Tower Hamlets offers a variety of opportunities to steer your career in the desired direction. We are currently undertaking a significant programme of change to deliver quality standards of practice and are keen for new team members to help advance this effort.
