United Kingdom Kent County Council Full time
Social Work Assistant - Community Forensic Social Work Team Role Responsibility

Kent County Council is looking for a Social Work Assistant to be part of an innovative team, improving the lives of people on forensic pathways.

Set up in response to a pioneering programme the Service works alongside Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust to support individuals on a forensic pathway in the community instead of in secure hospitals. This can improve quality of life, reduce inequalities and have a genuine impact on the lives of individuals, instilling hope and realising real change.

This is a rare chance to be part of this service, providing opportunities to develop your skills and your career. You will play a key role in the multi-disciplinary team assisting Social Workers to deliver the Local Authorities statutory duties to support the transition of individuals out of secure hospitals and into the community.

You will have experience in either mental health, learning disability or autism settings but experience in forensic services is not necessary – training will be provided. Applications will be shortlisted in relation to Job Description/Person Specification, which should be addressed fully in your application.

This is a permanent, full-time role. The service is based at the Trevor Gibbens Unit in Maidstone, Kent but you will be working flexibly, including from home and across a wide geographical area so the ability to travel in a timely manner according to business need is essential.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.

This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Work that works for you and us - let’s talk flexibility

KCC is committed to building a workforce which reflects the diversity of the county’s working residents, encouraging applications from people of all ages, abilities, genders, sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds, faiths and those with caring responsibilities, and aspires to create an inclusive workplace where everyone can be themselves at work.

Please note – if you are interested, please apply as soon as possible as the closing date for this advert may be earlier than stated should a number of suitably qualified candidates apply.
