Barrow, Cumbria, United Kingdom Westmorland and Furness Council Full time

Our vision for Adult Social Care is a place where people want to come and work, to have a workforce who feel supported empowered and valued for the great work they do; and to develop ways of working that promote greater independence ensure best value for money whilst putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.

Following an exciting and ambitious programme of change within Adult Social Care we have recently implemented our new services and we are looking for experienced and newly qualified Social Workers who are passionate about their professions to join our team to help us achieve our ambitions for the future in the Short-Term Interventions Team.

If you need any further information, please contact Biju James Team Manager on or email

The Role of Short-Term Interventions

A primary role of this team is to work across the system to enhance prevention interventions and work to prevent or delay admission into formal support services. This service will work collaboratively with a range of stakeholders from across the health and social care system and third sector and voluntary groups in Cumbria to ensure short term interventions (including assessment) are undertaken to ensure people are safe and supported using a strengths-based approach. The team will support the admission avoidance and the discharge or people from acute and community hospitals in a safe and timely way reducing the risk of delayed transfers of care.

Newly Qualified Role

As well as applications from experienced social workers we would welcome applications from anyone who is newly qualified. As a newly qualified social worker you will be supported throughout your first year in employment with us to undertake our Assessed and Supported first Year in Employment (ASYE) programme alongside our experienced Advanced Practice Leads and colleagues in Learning and Development.

We recognise that our workforce are best placed to design and embed new ways of working to achieve a modern social care service able to deliver the best outcomes for the people of Cumbria within a financially sustainable envelope. We have invested in additional Social Work posts including the creation of a dedicated Safeguarding Team and are looking to recruit to Social Worker posts:

To work in a team to undertake strengths-based assessments and deliver appropriate person centred support and outcomes for people in Cumbria with care and support needs.

-To work in ways that promote independence recognise potential for change and through excellent practice enable people to maximise their strength

-To actively promote the work of Cumbria County Council internally and externally on the development and delivery of continuously improving modern and competitive services for the people of Cumbria.
