Experienced Social Worker
4 weeks ago
As a result of staff development and progression, together with opportunity for further service development, we are looking for a social worker with hospital discharge experience to join North Somerset Council's Hospital Discharge Assessment Team. The timeframe is for an initial three months whilst we recruit to upcoming permanent vacancies. The team is in Adult Social Care directorate, with a remit to support adults with disabilities.
Staff are currently working from home with access to the office when necessary for support, supervision and team meetings. A majority of the work is undertaken in the community (and some remotely using teams/video calls). Intervention is now more often following the Sirona Discharge to Assess service who provide support to discharge people out of hospital and may also be after Reablement support. HDAT Staff will also in-reach to local hospitals to provide a consultative role to facilitate effective discharges (early intervention advice and support) and also to assess under the Care Act, where needs are particularly complex and unable to be supported through the usual health discharge routes.
A friendly and professional team, HDAT has been fortunate to maintain a committed, experienced staff group. HDAT pride themselves on their proactive, whole team approach for decisions and developments and actively support staff development in learning and career progression. As a proactive, responsive service, the team has a good working relationship with the community health provider and the local acute trusts. Role information/ Duties
The work is fast paced and ideally requires a social worker with hospital discharge experience or an appetite for quick turnover, short-term interventions, supporting people into their longer-term lifestyle following an acute episode of ill health. Applicants should have excellent organisational and communication skills and an ability to self-motivate, work autonomously and manage their time effectively. Good record keeping skills are critical in ensuring the team are updated on case progression through shared case notes (LAS). Supervision is provided by an allocated Senior Social Worker. The team consists of Operational Manager, Senior Social Workers, Social Workers (registered) and Adult Social Care workers (non-registered).
In North Somerset Council, the hospital discharge team follows up discharges with a review (and support as needed) in the community following the initial assessment. Due to North Somerset having many rural areas not served by public transport, we require a car driver for this post.
