London, United Kingdom West London NHS Trust Full time

We are delighted to advertise the role of Head of Social Work and Social Care across Local Services in West London NHS Trust.

West London NHS Trust wants to be an excellent employer for social workers and attract and retain the highest quality social workers. The Head of Social Work and Social Care post, working closely with the Head of Forensic Social Work and Head of CAMHS Social Work will drive forward the Trust social work strategy, supporting the professional development of the social workers and ensuring that there are systems and processes in place to ensure professional social work standards are promoted and enhanced throughout the organisation.

The post holder will lead effective partnership working within and outside of the organisation, creating a culture that promotes meaningful participation of individuals, communities, families and carers and co-production of services and solutions. Key partners include the 3 Local Authorities covered by West London NHS Trust (London Borough of Hounslow, London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and the London Borough of Ealing), the Police, Higher Education Institutes (HEIs), local voluntary organisations and service user and carer groups.

We are looking for someone who can provide expert professional social work opinion and knowledge within a strategic context and someone who can support systemic approaches to improve service user and carer experience throughout the care pathway by promoting the principles of independence, choice and wellbeing - ensuring a person-centred, strengths-based approach is embedded in practice.

West London NHS Trust is one of the most diverse providers of mental health, community and social care in the UK.

Our 3,982 staff care for people in hospital and in the community, helping them to recover and go on to lead full and productive lives. We aim to be the best organisation of our kind in the country.

We provide care and treatment for more than 800,000 people living in the London boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham and Hounslow, delivering services in the community (at home, in GP surgeries and care homes), hospital, specialist clinics and forensic (secure) units.

We’re rated good overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Together, we’re committed to promoting hope and wellbeing, working with patients, service users, carers, families and partners across the communities we serve.

We are keen to ensure that our workforce reflects the community it serves, particularly in terms of ethnicity, gender, disability, LGBTQ+ and experience of mental illness.

This role provides excellent exposure to cross system working, problem solving within a wide partnership and an ability to influence the interventions provided to service users and carers accessing out services. If you have the drive, passion for social work, enthusiasm and vision to lead our ongoing expansion of the social work workforce we can offer support and robust handover will be available to the successful person.
