2 weeks ago


Bristol, United Kingdom Bristol City Council Full time

We currently have x2 vacancies for full-time, permanent Social Care Practitioners in the North and West locality adult social care teams at Bristol City Council.

You’ll need to be resourceful, resilient, proactive, and prepared for a working day with plenty of challenges and variety. It is an exciting time to be part of a community social work team as we embed our new locality model of service delivery.

You will:

- Work with adults from a variety of groups including physical disabilities, mental health, learning disabilities, older adults and carers.
- Undertake Care Act assessments and planned and unplanned reviews.
- Undertake s42 (Care Act) safeguarding enquries.
- Maximise use of social capital, reablement support and technology enabled care to undertake support conversations, reassessment where required and update support plans.
- Attend weekly ward rounds/bed management meetings; CPA meetings / Blue Light Meetings and any other family and/or multi-disciplinary meetings including Continuing Health Care assessments.

The work in all teams can be pressured & challenging so a creative approach is necessary, as is the ability to find strengths-based solutions, including innovative technological solutions.

You will have a full induction and ongoing support from their Line Manager and colleagues. You must have an interest in working in a multi-disciplinary way, be able to work quickly and proportionately and have confidence in respect of decision making and positive risk taking.

It would be advantageous to have a working knowledge of the Care Act including Safeguarding Adults; the Mental Capacity Act 2005; and Best Interest and Health and Social Care eligibility criteria. However, this is not essential, and a full suite of training is available.
