**About Us**: Adult Social Care is changing in South Tyneside. We are a forward-thinking Council that is developing innovative approaches to meet our challenges. Focusing on **People, Place and Partnerships**, this is a great time to join us. We have developed a new 5-year Vision and Strategy for Adult Social Care to help support the next stage of our journey. Working closely with all our partners our vision for the future is to see every person in South Tyneside with care and support needs **“Living Better Lives”**, to fully utilise their strengths and assets, to remain safe and well; in the neighbourhoods and communities they call home.

Through the development of our new Values and Behaviour Framework we will fully support staff to become Curious, Accountable, Responsive and Empowered (CARE).

We are pleased to advertise a Social Care Practitioner role within our Neighbourhood South Team.

Social Care Practitioners are based in teams across Adult Social Care with qualified Social Workers and Managers, and work with the people of South Tyneside who have care and support needs. The role involves building excellent relationships with people, their families, and carers to understand what is already working well and what really matters to them. Using creative thinking, knowledge of the community, our partnerships and services, Social Care Practitioners help people, regardless of their circumstances, achieve their goals for a safe, happy, healthy life.

Main Responsibilities:

- Building relationships with adults, families, and support networks to identify strengths and design and agree ways to achieve the person’s goals using our Let’s Talk Together Approach.
- Undertaking visits to meet with adults face to face at various locations within borough, and occasionally beyond.

You will be passionate about working with people. Friendly and approachable, calm and well organised, you will thrive on being part of high performing teams. You will think ‘outside of the box’ and must have the drive and ambition to make a positive contribution to your team and the service.

You might be a school leaver or recent graduate looking for the next step. Or perhaps you work in the care sector and are looking for an opportunity to progress. Whatever your background, this is a real opportunity to either embark on, or further develop a career in Adult Social Care.

South Tyneside Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
