About the Role

Working to support adults and their families who have complex social needs and are more vulnerable as a result of disability, exclusion, or diminished capacity, you\'ll maximise their potential to live independently.

With case work focusing on the most complex and challenging adult cases, you\'ll ensure that adults and their families are safeguarded. You\'ll share ideas and best practice, providing specialist advice as part of a multi-disciplinary team sharing your knowledge as a Social Worker.

Social workers manage a caseload, including assessment of risk and purposeful intervention through direct work, commissioned services and review.

We currently have several opportunities for Social Workers, within our Mid Essex area within Physical & Sensory Impairments, Discharge to Assess, Learning Disability & Autism and Neighbourhood teams.

Our Mid Essex area is at the centre of our county covering the Chelmsford, Braintree and Maldon area. With the only city in the County and rural villages it is a diverse locality to work in. Bordering all other areas of the county you will have the opportunity to work closely with colleagues across Essex County Council. This is also one of our most connected areas of the county, with excellent travel links including direct trains to London.

About You

To apply you should be a qualified social worker with a current Social Work England registration. You\'ll bring at least 1 year\'s social work experience, evidence of continuing professional development, and capability of practice in accordance with current professional standards.

You\'ll bring significant experience of social work, modelling good practice and providing advice and guidance in complex situations. As, as a subject matter expert in relevant professional practice, you should have a comprehensive understanding of current legislation, regulations, and guidance. With experience of chairing meetings involving clients, family members, carers, and other multi-agency professionals, we\'re looking for your ability to develop strong relationships with partner agencies and the local community to provide a supportive framework for vulnerable adults.

This role involves travelling around Essex. A driving licence and car - or the ability to meet the mobility requirements of the role through other means - is essential.

As part of employment with Essex County Council (ECC) should your role require a DBS check you will be required to register with the DBS update service.
