We are looking for qualified Social Workers registered with Social Work England.
You will have at least 5 year’s post qualification experience in statutory social services, usually in a local authority setting. You’ll need to demonstrate excellent knowledge of best practice and legislation. You will be motivated and have a professional “can do” attitude.
In our Adult Social Care Hospital Team, we support our most vulnerable residents to get their lives firmly on track using a strength-based approach, keeping the person at the heart of everything we do.
It’s why our social workers have the time to get to know everyone they work with. Put simply, we work with people to change lives for the better and be as independent as they can.
Our Adult Social Care service comprises highly professional and supportive multidisciplinary teams. We have a “can do” and “no wrong door” ethos. Our social care teams work together as one service and go the extra mile to ensure our residents have the right support.
We work closely with health and other partners to ensure that people don’t go into hospital when they don’t need to, and if they do that they are there only if they need to be and can return home as quickly and safely as possible.
We have regular multidisciplinary forums, meaning our residents can have easy access to health and social care services that talk to each other, to provide holistic support when needed.
We know there can be pressures working in Adult Social Care, so we make sure our staff are well supported. You will receive regular supervision and access to training. We have a strong focus on supporting our staff to learn, grow and develop to achieve their potential. We listen to our social care staff about the best way to deliver our services and encourage feedback and suggestions on how we can do things better together.
Interviews will be held 6th December 2024.
