Hastings, East Sussex, United Kingdom East Sussex County Council Full time

East Sussex offers a remarkable environment for both living and working, characterized by its picturesque landscapes and vibrant coastal towns. We are seeking a dedicated Community Support Specialist to join our Adult Social Care Operational Teams.

Our organization prides itself on strong partnerships with local entities and healthcare providers. We collaborate effectively to facilitate safe transitions for individuals returning home from healthcare facilities. Our approach emphasizes the importance of home-based care and assessing needs post-discharge, ensuring clients can maintain their independence in a safe environment. We work closely with our reablement teams and rehabilitation services to enhance clients' autonomy and foster positive outcomes. When necessary, we engage with local Integrated Commissioning Boards to secure access to ongoing care funding for those we serve.

To excel in this role, you should possess a comprehensive understanding of the Mental Capacity Act (2005), the Mental Health Act (1983), equality legislation, and the Deprivation of Liberty safeguards. Implementing this legislation in your daily responsibilities is essential. You will also be responsible for fulfilling the County's safeguarding duties to protect clients and mitigate risks. Assessing clients in accordance with statutory obligations, such as the Care Act (2014), using a strengths-based and outcome-focused methodology is expected. Experience with court of protection matters is advantageous, though training will be provided to successful candidates.

Candidates must be Registered Social Workers with Social Work England and hold a recognized social work qualification, such as a C.Q.S.W, DipSW, or a Degree/Master's in Social Work. We encourage applications from Social Workers who have completed their Assessed and Supported Year in Employment.

Working with East Sussex County Council comes with numerous benefits, including:

  • Competitive remuneration
  • Comprehensive pension plan
  • Flexible working arrangements – a combination of office and remote work
  • Access to training opportunities, including financial support for pursuing qualifications as a Best Interest Assessor or Approved Mental Health Professional
  • Reimbursement of your annual registration fee with Social Work England
  • Eligibility for our lease car scheme, subject to criteria
  • Five dedicated training and development days annually to support your professional growth
  • Allocated time for research into models, theories, and case law
  • Access to extensive training resources focused on wellbeing and wellness

In return for your expertise and dedication, East Sussex County Council provides extensive training and career development opportunities. You will receive monthly individual supervision to aid your continuous professional development (CPD), allowing you to monitor your work against the Professional Capability Framework and Knowledge and Skills Statement relevant to your experience level. Additionally, you will have the chance to participate in monthly reflective supervision sessions with peers to fulfill registration requirements.

We look forward to reviewing your application. Please ensure your submission addresses how you meet the criteria outlined in the person specification, drawing on relevant work, educational experiences, or personal interests.

Interviews will be conducted via a virtual platform unless an in-person meeting is requested. The interview process will include a panel review.

For informal inquiries regarding this opportunity, please reach out to our team.

We offer a diverse array of benefits to support you throughout your employment. Further details can be found on our website.
