Your new company Birmingham City Council are looking to recruit a qualified Social Worker for their Discharge to Access (D2A) Service. The team supports the assessment and support planning for citizens who have left the hospital with a short-term service and require support to determine the longer term support needed where applicable.

Your new role You will work as part of the Discharge to Assess Community Social Work Team to deliver on-person-centred practices where citizens are enabled to exercise choice, control, independence, and build resilience with a focus on prevention and early intervention to support, provide guidance and signposting in addition to assessments, via the 3 Conversations model, in accordance with the Care Act 2014.
