We are seeking a qualified Adult Social Worker to join a Review Team supporting adults to achieve positive outcomes and maintain their independence. This is an opportunity to work in a person-centred service where strengths-based practice, professional curiosity and effective partnership working are highly valued.
You will undertake comprehensive reviews of care and support needs, ensuring that assessments reflect the individual’s circumstances, wishes, strengths and desired outcomes. Working collaboratively with adults, families, carers and relevant professionals, you will identify appropriate support arrangements and contribute to the development, implementation and review of care plans.
The role will involve managing a varied caseload, completing reviews within statutory timescales, responding to changes in need and arranging suitable services where required. You will promote choice, control, wellbeing and independence, while ensuring that safeguarding concerns are identified, reported and managed in line with legislation and local procedures. You will also contribute to assessments relating to charging, eligibility and financial arrangements, maintaining accurate and timely case records throughout.
You will work closely with health colleagues, care providers, housing services, advocacy organisations and other agencies to coordinate effective support. The post requires confident professional judgement, the ability to analyse complex information and a commitment to lawful, proportionate and outcome-focused decision-making. You may also be required to participate in duty arrangements and support service improvements through effective communication and partnership working.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. Experience of working with adults in a statutory social care setting, undertaking reviews and applying relevant legislation is essential. You should have a sound understanding of the Care Act, safeguarding procedures, mental capacity principles and strengths-based practice.
You will need excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong organisational abilities and the confidence to work independently while contributing positively to a wider team. A commitment to equality, inclusion and respectful practice is essential, as is the ability to travel locally when required.
