Social Work Assistant

Aylesbury, United Kingdom Buckinghamshire Council Full time

Location: Aylesbury

Overview

Are you looking for a new challenge? Do you want to become part of a team that places a premium on listening and learning, and which is determined to make a difference?

We have a fantastic opportunity for a dynamic Social Work Assistant who is passionate about enabling clients to fulfil their potential, whilst promoting self-determination, to join our Hospital Discharge North and East Team based in Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

If you have experience in the field of Health and Social Care, assessing needs, a real desire to enable clients to achieve or maintain their goals of living independently, and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment - we want to hear from you

The Hospital Discharge Teams operate a 7-day service. At present, this equates to weekend working approximately once every 2 months. For this you will receive an enhancement and time off in lieu.

About us

Our vision is simple - to make a real difference to the people and communities we serve, now, and for the future. This means safeguarding the vulnerable, creating opportunities, building self-reliance, and keeping Buckinghamshire thriving and attractive. All whilst ensuring that we’re delivering value for money.

Our local communities are at the heart of everything we do, they really rely on the work we do - whether its new roads being built, helping parents get their children a school place, or providing essential support to vulnerable children or adults, what we do touches the lives of everyone in Buckinghamshire.

If you'd like to hear from some of our current Adult Social Care employees, please do take a look at our Bucks Careers pages , , ,

About the role

You will assess and review the needs of clients who are being referred for, or already in receipt of, care and support services, and undertake and produce high quality strengths-based assessments, reviews, and care and support plans which focus on both achieving independence for and desired outcomes of the individual.

You will work in partnership with other professionals and organisations to support our residents effectively and holistically. Social Work Assistants will endorse and act in accordance with the principles of personalisation, ensuring that care and support plans are person-centred, and as far as is safely possible, you will put the people with whom you work with in control of their lives.

About you

We are looking for a Social Work Assistant who is passionate, supportive, motivated, and confident when supporting and communicating with people - either on the telephone or face to face.

Your work will include carrying out needs’ assessments, creating person-centred and strengths-based care plans, ensuring delivery of services, and reviewing outcomes with the individual, their personal networks and support providers.

You will also demonstrate emotional resilience and intelligence - which is the ability to maintain focus and to ‘keep going’ despite setbacks and stressful situations.

You must have a full driving licence with access to a vehicle and be willing to travel county-wide as necessary.

Mobile:

A ‘mobile’ role gives you the flexibility to schedule your own diary, so you can meet with colleagues and clients in a variety of locations. You’ll access digital folders and resources on your laptop and be able to use the network wherever you are based. Working from home will be common, as well as meeting your team in the office where necessary.
