London, Greater London, United Kingdom London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and London Borough of Wandsworth Full time

Richmond and Wandsworth Adult Social Services are looking for experienced, qualified Senior Social Workers to join our Wandsworth Locality teams.

The teams consist of Locality Service Managers, Assistant Locality Managers, Senior Social Workers, Social Workers and Social Care Assessors who work across Wandsworth. The teams focus is to provide a holistic, personalised, strength based service to residents over the age of 18 who have physical disabilities and older people with physical and mental health disabilities.

The teams are currently going through a period of change as we come out of the pandemic so you will assist in supporting the team to explore new ways of working.

Your duties will include:

  • To facilitate service user choice and empowerment through promoting independence and strength-based practice to enable residents to maintain their independence and local community connections for as long as safely possible
  • To assist with the management of budgets, ensuring that processes and procedures are carried out in a timely and effective way; including authorising assessments, reassessments and arranging necessary funding to meet the requirements of individual support plans within available resources.
  • To undertake statutory intervention where service users are deemed to be at risk, including situations where people may be neglected or abused in accordance with the Inter-Agency Policy and Procedures for Safeguarding Adults and to chair Section 42 Safeguarding Adults Enquiries where required.
  • To provide operational and motivational leadership of staff, promoting a positive working environment with the primary aim of delivering high quality services.
  • To provide regular, formal professional supervision for practitioners within the team being mindful of both Council's Policies and Procedures, legislation, and Professional Standards.
  • To manage the duty team and oversee all incoming referrals and safeguarding concerns.

    You will:
    • Have a 'can do' attitude to work
    • Continuously seek better value for money while meeting resident's outcomes at lower cost
    • Have the interests of residents and service users at heart, and ensuring they receive the highest standards of service provision
    • Take a team approach that values collaboration and partnership working.
    • Have knowledge of current developments in relevant legislation, national guidance and frameworks and how to access more detailed information when necessary, including the local authority's responsibility to safeguard adults at risk
    • Be able to make rapid judgements, at times in emergencies

      Candidates must have post qualification experience along with a good knowledge of relevant legislation and local authority responsibilities in the safeguarding of vulnerable adults. You must have good communication, decision-making and time management skills.

      To apply for this role please complete the application form which will ask you for CV and supporting statement detailing how you meet the requirements of the role.
