Hybrid working available to support a work/life balance, to be agreed with Line Manager. Edinburgh is an exciting city, and excellent opportunities exist to join us and contribute towards helping all our citizens flourish. Edinburgh Health & Social Care Partnership is on a journey to transform the way in which Social Work delivers support and services to ensure that we support adults with multiple and complex needs, and increasing levels of frailty, to live as independently as possible. An exciting opportunity has arisen to work within the Assessment and Care Management Service, a fast paced and dynamic service that manages referrals, assessments and reviews for the people of Edinburgh. We work effectively with our health colleagues and a broad range of partners to ensure that the most vulnerable within our city get the right service in the right place at the right time. We have a key priority to shift the balance of care and promote effective early intervention and preventative supports. Trauma informed, relationships and strengths based social work is at the heart of our practice. You will manage social workers and community care assistants who undertake a range of statutory duty tasks including completion of social work assessments and risk assessments, manage risk and review support packages. You will lead a team who work as part of a multidisciplinary team and will support adults, their families, and carers, to balance the complex areas of risk and need with choice and rights. You will also be able to provide advice, support, guidance and, if necessary, interventions, should an adult be at risk of harm and in need of protection under the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 or Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000. You will work in a supportive team environment and have regular supervision and training. You must hold a degree/diploma or equivalent qualification in Social Work. You must also be registered or in the process of registering with the Scottish Social Services Council.
