Social Care Practitioner Level One

2 months ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom Lincolnshire County Council Full time
Qualified Practitioner Level One
Social Care
Adult Care and Community Wellbeing
£33,024 - £36,648
Permanent
Full-time

We are pleased to present this opportunity within our Learning Disability Team. This position requires a valid qualification in Social Work or Nursing, along with current registration with the relevant professional governing body.

Role Overview

In this role, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team dedicated to supporting individuals with learning disabilities who have various care and support needs.

The successful candidates will be tasked with completing Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications to the Court of Protection (COP). A solid understanding of The Care Act 2014, statutory obligations, and familiarity with the COP application process, DoLS legislation, and related documentation is essential. Additionally, knowledge and experience with the Mental Capacity Act, conducting mental capacity assessments, and adhering to best interest principles are required.

You will be expected to manage a complex workload autonomously, collaborating with our Learning Disability case management teams, legal departments, service providers, healthcare professionals, families, and advocacy services.

Timely completion of tasks is crucial, and you will need to prioritize effectively while working with colleagues to gather necessary evidence for DoLS applications within specified timeframes.

This role involves travel across the region, and having access to a motor vehicle is necessary to fulfill the job requirements efficiently. Mileage claims will be reimbursed for travel from the office to appointments.

Although this role is primarily focused on DoLS responsibilities, there may be occasions where the post holder will be required to perform additional duties as a Qualified Practitioner, such as conducting new Adult Care assessments or responding to emergencies or safeguarding issues. Flexibility in the role is essential to meet the service's needs.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Manage a designated caseload of clients within the Learning Disability service, residing in community-supported living arrangements or their own homes.
  • Review existing DoLS orders alongside key workers to assess current care and support, restrictions, and the individual's capacity to understand and consent to their care.
  • Collaborate with relevant stakeholders to determine if the care provided is in the individual's best interests and is the least restrictive option available.
  • Complete necessary DoLS application documentation, liaising with providers to collect signed care plans, risk assessments, and other required documentation.
  • Maintain accurate case notes and records, prepare reports as needed, and provide evidence in court related to care proceedings.
  • Engage with families to explain the DoLS process, support their understanding of the representative's role, and facilitate referrals to independent advocacy services when appropriate.
  • Work within established timeframes, understanding the legal framework, and build effective relationships with legal services.
Our core office hours are structured to support a balance between home-based and office work, with specific requirements for in-office presence to meet service demands.

Candidate Profile

We value our teams and the services we provide; therefore, it is crucial to recruit individuals who can deliver the best support to our teams and service users.

Candidates must possess either a Social Work or Nursing qualification and demonstrate current registration with the relevant body. The nursing qualification does not need to be specific to Learning Disabilities.

Ideal candidates will exhibit the following skills and qualities:
  • A proactive attitude with self-motivation, enthusiasm, and resilience.
  • Respect for individuals in their homes, ensuring dignity is maintained.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to understand both verbal and non-verbal cues, and the confidence to demonstrate professional curiosity.
  • Creative problem-solving abilities.
  • Capability to perform well in high-pressure or emergency situations.
Team Overview

The Learning Disability team is dedicated to providing exceptional service and takes pride in their work. Our team members bring a diverse range of skills and knowledge, fostering a supportive and nurturing environment.

Benefits

We recognize and celebrate our team's achievements. It is essential that practitioners feel valued and supported, as our staff are our most important asset. We offer regular one-on-one meetings and monthly team gatherings.

In addition to a competitive salary, we provide:
  • A comprehensive pension scheme
  • Reimbursement for professional registration fees
  • Opportunities for career advancement, including training for Practice Educator/AMHP roles and management
  • Generous annual leave entitlement
