About the Role

As a Social Worker in our Mid Essex area, you will be working with adults and their families who have complex social needs and are more vulnerable due to disability, exclusion, or diminished capacity. Your primary goal will be to maximize their potential to live independently.

You will bring significant experience of social work, modeling good practice, and providing advice and guidance in complex situations. You will have a comprehensive understanding of current legislation, regulations, and guidance, as well as experience of chairing meetings involving clients, family members, carers, and other multi-agency professionals.

This role involves traveling around Essex, and a driving license and car, or the ability to meet the mobility requirements of the role through other means, is essential.

What We Offer
  • Training and development opportunities to empower you to excel in your role.
  • A comprehensive benefits package, including a lease car scheme, up to £8000 for relocation, and life assurance of three times annual salary.
