We're looking for a Specialist Social Worker with a passion for diversity and inclusion to join our team.

Could that be you?

Who are we?

We are deaf-led charity, supporting and celebrating deaf people. We were established in

1835 and work with deaf people across Scotland and the South of England.

Our work is geared towards empowering all deaf people to achieve their potential and fully participate in society, with equality of rights, access and opportunity.

About you

As a Specialist Social Worker, you will have excellent communication skills, able to prioritise your own workload and the ability to motivate and manage a small team. A means of communication will be through British Sign Language (BSL) therefore competency in BSL is desirable, but not essential as training will be provided.

You will have a strong grasp of current social work practice and issues with three years' post qualifying social work practice within a local authority, third sector or Charity setting in adult or children's services with knowledge of the deaf community and its culture.

The role

The Specialist Social Worker heads up the Social Care team which consists of two Community Care Assistants.

The aim of the role is to build and maintain relationships within the deaf community while

providing a high-quality social work service to deaf people, their families and carers within Edinburgh and the Lothians. This opportunity comes at an exciting time as currently we are developing a service for children under 10.

Undertake holistic assessments of deaf clients

Maintain a schedule of initial/6 month/ annual reviews for all deaf clients

Support clients from referral onwards supporting them through an appropriate pathway to

support

Manage the duty service offering support, information and advice within 48 hours of contact

Provide long term support to clients as required

Maintain case notes

Maintain log of duty contacts, assessment, reviews and ongoing support for quarterly returns

in line with Local Authority service level agreements

Manage quarterly feedback for the service

Undertake adult support and protection procedures and other statutory procedures alongside

mainstream social work support

Provide safeguarding advice to the agency

To provide some advice and support to other agencies working with deaf people using or

wanting to use services

Engage with other services and forums to ensure services are linked into and

support complementary services

To help identify gaps in service provision and to identify ways in which these could be filled

What's on offer?

Occupational pension scheme with employer contributions of 6%.

32 days leave (inc bank holidays) pro rata for part time

24/7 access to an Employee Assistance Programme provided by Health Assured.

BSL Training
