About this opportunity
Our vision for Adult Social Care is a place where people want to come and work, 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 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. This role is within the scope of the Short Term Intervention Team .
The postholder will be an integral part of the ToCH (Transfer of Care Hub) ensuring a person centred and strength based approach is adopted during pre admission, hospital stays and planned safe discharge.
This role will be essential in supporting those people whose circumstances are complex.
The postholder will work as part of a system hub, providing advice and support to colleagues and working closely as part of an MDT to support discharge.
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 Westmorland and Furness 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 of people from acute and community hospitals in a safe and timely way reducing the risk of delayed transfers of care.
Working for us
We recognise that our workforce is 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 Westmorland and Furness 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 Westmorland and Furness with care and support needs.

- To actively promote the work of Westmorland and Furness Council internally and externally, on the development and delivery of continuously improving modern and competitive services for the people of the county.
